Hi @Devonte Dinkins

Hi @Timothy Battle -- let me join the chorus to welcome you to BP! I'm new too and have really appreciated the welcoming culture here, and want to pass that along to you. I look forward to seeing you on the forums!

Hi Seth Sherman thanks for your cautionary tale--- I am open to other buy and hold scenarios and will keep your comments in mind during deal analysis!! Thanks too Paul Timmins -- great steps and glad to say I've taken a few already. What do you mean though that you don't have to own a prop to control it? Thanks!

Hi @Christina R.,

Thanks for the welcome! You said it -- this place is great! I can see how much I'm learning already and can see how much there is to learn. I'm planning to attend a meet up in Fairfax soon and saw your posting on another newbie from MD about some groups so will be sure to check those out too.

Thanks again!

Hi All,

I'm a new member in Silver Spring, MD, who read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and realized I don't have to be living paycheck to paycheck forever! And, that my husband and I can make our real estate visions a reality. We have a one-year-old son and want to give him a stable future as well as a solid financial education, one that we are just now working on ourselves. Our goal is to start with a few small multiunit rental properties and grow from there (thanks @Brandon Turner for the numerous resources in this realm!)

I'm looking forward to getting to know you, learning from you, and hopefully soon sharing my own knowledge -- and success stories!

Cheers,

Alison

Thanks @Account Closed -- nice to have the range of perspectives on the question!

Hi BP,

I'm new to REI and looking to build my team per the Ultimate Guide. Does anyone have a recommendation for a great accountant in the Silver Spring, MD/Baltimore area?

Thanks!

Alison

More excellent benefits, thanks @J Scott.

And from what I can tell, all this is available for much less than a round trip ticket to California.

Ha, of course. Can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks @Bryan L.

Become a realtor -- makes sense -- you get access to all property listings and the training inherent in becoming a realtor. Are there other benefits as well? Thanks for starting this thread - looking forward to more tips!
