Newbie Real Estate Flipper in Maryland

[LaShonda C Torbert]

Hi everyone,

I've been following the BiggerPockets podcast for a few months now, and I'm ready to fully dive into the world of Real Estate Investing. I'm planning to start by flipping properties. Ideally next year, I'd transition to incorporating a buy and hold strategy with small multi-family units. I'm excited to say that I'm presently working on securing my first flip deal in Baltimore. 

My short-term goal is to complete 5 flips in 2020. I currently live in Southern Maryland (Lexington Park area), but I have a flexible work schedule so I'm open to working with properties in the greater DMV and Baltimore regions. 

I'm really hoping to network with other flippers and investors. I'd also like to network with contractors and other professionals to start forming teams for my projects. I've gone through meetup.com and found a few upcoming REIA events, but I'd love to also connect with people on here as this resource seems pretty incredible.

Very much looking forward to being active in this community! Any advice that you'd offer someone doing their first deal?
