New Investor Looking to Network in Baldwin County, AL

[Cynthia Veenendaal]

I'm new to real estate investing and looking for a property to BRRR in Baldwin County, AL (with an all in investment budget of $100K). I'd love some advice from the community relative to areas/zip codes in which I should focus my search.

I live in CA now but expect to be moving to Baldwin County within the next 6 to 12 months. I have a CA r/e salespersons license and am currently in the process of filing for a reciprocal r/e salesperson license in AL. I don't have a current broker affiliation as I'm not active in any real estate profession. (I got my license 10 years ago to help my mom out for a brief period and just maintained it over the years for future options.) My AL reciprocal license will be issued as "inactive" as I'm not planning to work as a r/e agent or professional. I just figured - I got my license - might as well keep it. I'm not sure how my current CA and future AL licenses could/would/should come into play relative to any personal r/e purchases I make - so I'd appreciate any advice or insights on the subject. I mean who wouldn't want to receive a buyer's agent commission if it's an option right!? Particularly since we have a goal to BRRR 3 properties within the next 12 months.

I'm looking to network with other investors and partner with recommended financial, legal and property management professionals as well as wholesalers and contractors. Please comment below or message me with any advice or recommendations. My husband and I will be in the Mobile/Daphne area for three weeks from mid December 2020 through the first week of January 2021. I'm hoping to make some personal connections while we're in town. Look forward to hearing from my BP community. Thank you and God Bless.
