For everyone, I'll wear a Hawaiian shirt and try to make some sort of sign for you all to recognize.

Will do, especially of this one goes well

Jailbreak Brewery

Thursday, December 2nd at 6:30pm

Welcome to the first Central Maryland Real Estate Investor Social!

The purpose of this event is to give more people in Maryland and the greater Washington DC/DMV area an opportunity to get together and nerd out on everything real estate while enjoying tasty beverages and food. There won't be any pitching or selling of anything. I'm just a new investor looking to meet with like-minded people and hoping to fill a gap in the central Maryland area.

I chose Jailbreak Brewery in Laurel, MD because it is centrally located in between PG, Montgomery, Howard, and Anne Arundel Counties providing easier access to more people in the area. I also hope it will provide an opportunity for people who invest in different areas, like DC vs Baltimore, to trade stories and experiences. I've reserved a table for 8 to 10 people, but if we go over it should be OK as it's a pretty be a brewery and a Thursday night. I hope to see you all there!

Next week is thanksgiving, so I'm thinking the week after next would work best. I'll post the event in MD and DC groups when I get it created.

Looking at a map, Laurel seems like a good central place for Anne Arundel, PG, Montgomery, and Howard Counties. Jailbreak brewing co has some pretty big tables. Does that sound good to everyone? If I can gauge the number of people interested, I can try to reserve a table and create an event. No specific agenda per say, just away for people to get together and discuss the joy of real estate investing.

I wanted to do one for Howard. Maybe we can meet half way?

@David M. thank you for the feedback! I was thinking that was the case but wanted to make sure that I wasn’t being too presumptuous. I’m going to seek out another lender now.

I've been moving along in the process of getting a home equity loan on my second home, but I just ran into a snag. The company I'm working with won't count rental income until it has been collected for two years. My debt to income is too high without it even though I've been renting the house out for almost a year with a solid lease. Is this a common requirement? Are there companies that work in Maryland or in general that will accept statements and a lease?
