Newbie in Baltimore area

[Noel Anthony Butler]

Hello everyone, I would like to introduce myself to all investors, wholesalers, buyers, and more, in the Baltimore area (Towson specifically) or just all around. My name is Noel Butler, I am a 19 year old sophomore at Towson university. I come across investing, wholesaling to be exact, about 2 months ago, when I was doing some research and found Jay Morrison and Isaac Grace. By doing an extensive amount of research I have learned a lot of the basics, but I still have a . lot to learn. I am opening this discussion to have anyone feel free to comment, give advice, meet up to discuss business strategies,  etc. Anything will help. In advance, I thank you all and am looking forward to diving into the real estate business.

Hi Noel! Welcome to the biz in Bmore! As a veteran investor of 20 years, here’s are my humble thoughts.

1) Get involved with local investor groups, go to a few meetings, meet people. You will find many people willing to share and advise. Just do your due diligence and make sure you connect with ones that are vetted and real. You will learn so much having your feet on the ground in your local market. You just have to be careful who you connect with.

2) Find an experienced investor that you can intern with or is willing to help or coach you, you’ll be surprised. If you find the right person, it would even be wise to pay them. The right coach will teach you how to make money in this business and greatly expedite the learning curve, which is priceless.

3) Continue time learning and connecting here on Bigger Pockets, there are many great resources.

You are welcome to attend the GRID Baltimore meetup that I am a co-organizer for. We meet the 4th Wednesday or each month.
