Hi Shameeka! I have a great person I can connect you with! Her and her husband retired from being teachers in the Baltimore area, and they are running a Facebook group to educate others in their market on how they did it with rather low paying jobs.  Send me a message and I'll connect you two! Nothing to sell, I just think you guys may get along!

Another suggestion would be to decide HOW you want to invest. There are  A LOT of other option out there other than buy rentals or do fix and flips.  Research the variety of options and talk to people doing those options. Don't ask them the mechanics of how to do something, ask them what they like about it, what they don't like about it, would they keep doing it if they didn't need the money, etc. You will learn so much more from the conversations doing that versus asking them how to do their style of investing. 

Good luck! 


 Hi Alex,

Would you happen to share this Facebook group? I'm also in education and would love to hear their story as I am interested in the purchasing rental properties and BRRRRing properties there as well. 

Quote from @John DeLuca:

Hey i'm looking to buy an investment property but want it to be in an LLC and am struggling to find a bank to lend to a first timer in an LLC. I've been advised. that I cannot buy and then move to an LLC. Any suggestions on this?


 Hi John,

I was looking to do the same with purchasing a SFH under my LLC. I look forward to seeing the responses.

Hi @Matt Schreiber I've been curious to know if there were credit unions that would actually fund investment properties. How many credit unions have you been in contact with?

@Ryan Guffey great post and the amount of feedback from members has been valuable. I have always wanted to own rental properties but never knew where the start. Thankfully, a random Facebook message from my old roommate in college who is killing the real estate business was all the push I needed. He is serving as a mentor to while I am taking the necessary steps to hopefully buy my first property next year that I can BRRRR and continue from there. I am currently reading BRRRR by David Greene and I try to squeeze out 10 pages daily. I'm a father of three girls, working a fulltime job, and currently in the tail end of my masters program so my free time is very limited. While I'm at work I'm listening to BP podcast and also checking out my old roommate's youtube channel.

Thank you for this post Ryan and thank you Richard for your response.
