 @Dave Visaya,

Thank you for the welcome! I agree, BP is filled with RE knowledge and I have been a sponge absorbing everything I can and I did check out the Learn Tab. It is filled with valuable free knowledge. Thank you for the welcome.

Welcome to Biggerpockets. Great to have you here. You can start by going to Learn. You can find a lot of strategies that can go with your experience. Good luck in your REI journey!

Account Closed,

Thank you for note and warm welcome. I agree, I started reading the Ultimate Beginner's Guide to REI and the Free How-To-Guide to educate myself a little about REI before looking creating a plan and executing. Thank you again.

Best,

Rikin

@Stephen Chittenden;

Hey Steve,

Thank you for dropping a line and introducing yourself. As you probably already know, Harford County is growing and great for real estate. I am looking for a single family or town home in Bel Air to rent out. If you are ever in town and want to connect, let me know.

Stay in touch and see you around!

Welcome. 

Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and rehabbers (cash buyers). You can Google to locate them and go to meetup.com

Two Great reads, I bought both J. Scott The Book on Flipping Houses, The Book on Estimating ReHab Costs http://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbook

Consider checking out HUD homes for small multi's owner occupied gets first crack.

You might consider Niche or Specialized Housing like student housing. Rents can be 2-4 times more. Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.

Download BP’s newest book here some good due diligence in Chapter 10. Real Estate Rewind Starting over

Good Luck
