Newbie in Columbia, MD/Baltimore, MD

[David Pryce]

Hi everyone! My name is David. I am an active duty Marine and newbie investor who is still in the learning phase but I'm on the look out for my first deal. I would really like to attend a meet up in the Baltimore or Columbia area in Maryland. I am also seeking recommendations for a great real estate agent in those areas. I'm not sure what else to say, but thanks for reading!

If you want to buy in Columbia, your best bet would be to house hack. With a VA Loan you buy for nothing down, rent out the rooms and have your roommates pay your mortgage. It's a pricier market but the numbers would definitely work if you're house hacking.
