Hey @Jonathan Tavarez

Thank you for the advice. You're right, I need a detailed plan. I've been looking in Indian Head, Waldorf, and Suitland MD. For my first deal, I want to do something cosmetic or foreclosures that need some work. As for my budget, I'm looking at houses under 125k. I'm still looking for a good lender and I'm talking to people about getting private loans. Again thank you for the advice.

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for an experienced realtor to work with me on my first deal. I can go through whatever qualification process that is needed. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

It was hard. I used a Dave Ramsey budget. I cut the cable, stopped going to restaurants, and got rid of any unnecessary payments. If you can't do this find a good partner that can finance you.

I'm new at this too and I asked the same question about year ago. Someone told me something like you can but it's more risky. So I took time worked hard and saved up a bunch of cash!! But, if you can be creative and find good partners you can do it without much money!!!

Baltimore can be a tough in some areas but, I have friends that have been very successful in that market. So, if you do your due diligence and make sure your numbers are as accurate as possible I think you'll be OK. Good luck!!

I live in Maryland and started my LLC in DE. I was advised that it would be less road blocks when getting things done and my taxes would be lower. But, no two persons taxes will be the same. I guess me and you are learning this one together.
