@Jared Lichtin

 - thank you!  I have been funneling thru as much of the info and resources as I can in the last few days [since finding BP].  Have found a few possibilities to check this week - then to figure out financing.  Maybe J. Scott will have a cup of coffee with me!

Hi all!  I'm Lois Stern from Baltimore County in Maryland.  I'm a project analyst for Johns Hopkins Health System.  My son recently became a Real Estate Agent and we will be teaming up on flipping houses.

My husband has always rented an office suite and then rented out the other offices to keep his own payment low.  I encouraged him to do the same in the office suite next door and he is now working rent free with a small income!  I figure we will eventually do the same in rental units, but want to start with flipping for some immediate cash and hopefully less headaches.

I am reading and listening to everything suggested here on Bigger Pockets to learn the lingo and how to make good decisions.  I love the culture of helping one another succeed.  

In my past life [20 years] I was an entertainer and agent for private events. I have drive and a tiny bit of [dangerous?] know-how. I'm also looking for information on how make one's IRA or mutual self directed - and then how to utilize that income for investing.

Can't wait to dive into these blogs... thanks for your comments and support in advance.
