How do I get started in Baltimore

[Will Agosto]

I have been interested in real estate in a long time and like so many others was intimidated by it. I'm looking to either buy a house and rent out or buy and flip with little to no money down (if that's even a real thing) in the Baltimore area. I don't know what's more beneficial and don't know how to get started in what to do. If anyone can help with any information I would gladly appreciate it and hopefully get pointed in the right direction.
