Thanks everyone. I'm ordering some cards and looking to approach vacant/absentee leads. Wish me luck!

Thank you all for your responses. I would be looking for properties under 60k to buy rehab and rent out. Would you still recommend the areas you all provided earlier? Or would you suggest otherwise. One of my favorite areas that I’ve been watching is Pigstown? Your thoughts?

Hello,

Looking for the best up and coming areas to invest in the Baltimore City area. Any Insight will help. I am from Maryland and I'm somewhat familiar with the city but would love a more experience investor to provide any guidance. Thanks!

I’m so happy to see all of the responses on this post. I love reading the other perspectives. @Stone that’s for the heads up about Joe Fairless... I’ll check out the podcasts!

Thanks everyone for their honest responses! Anthony Gayden I actually was about to do some research on BRRR strategy. Maybe doing as you suggested and looking into duplex's etc may be my middle ground. I'm happy to know I'm not the only one attracted to Grant's no bs attitude. To me it's motivating.

My brother and sister in law are realtors in Nj and they spoke about the impact Grant Cardone had on them. So I started looking into his methods and strategy. I came across a video where he discusses never to look for a single family home for initial investment. He stated that as new investors should be looking at multifamily units immediately so that you aren't relying on just one door. He also states that we should not restrict our property search based on what we "think" our budget is. I guess my question is for more seasoned investors, how do you feel about this advice? If you don't agree with it, what would you recommend to a new investor who hasn't really established any connections or made a stamp in the REI world?

You all are truly amazing. Thank you for sharing so many tips. I have literally taken note of everything you all mentioned. 

Thank you @Paul Timmins @Elizabeth Nourse @Sherman Ragland for all the great tips. I've already started looking up REIA's in my area and I will definitely take a deeper dive into the bigger pockets site.

@Dawn Anastasi I haven't. Are these available on this forum? I would love to read them.

Hello all! I am an aspiring real estate investor with goals if becoming my own landlord. I've been researching this avenue for about 1.5 years consistently and am looking in to jumping in sooner than later. Any advice or tips are welcomed! I'm excited to be here and learn.
