Let's say you bought a property for $350k, consisting of $275k building and $75k land.

What worked for me was focusing on building strategic relationships with top tier people (quality partners) who could complement what I brought to the table—sales, management, and execution.When you are approaching sellers for creative financing, leading with a clear value proposition (and CONFIDENTLY) is key.

I’ve had deals under contract where I’ve done building inspections, septic inspections, and had a lawyer look at the easements and then terminated the deal.

I’d recommend continuing to build equity in your home for the next year or two.

I am building a monthly passive cash flow for my retirement.   

I am investor myself, but I’m now diving deeper as an investor friendly real estate agent helping others build their portfolios.

If you want to be generating leads from a website, SEO will help with credibility and long term visibility, and an attractive website will also help with building credibility and trust too.

In addition to that, building your network is key.

(do not trust me to build the house, but I do know how to qualify you FOR the house.)

Building the right team is a great first step—wishing you both success in finding your first property in Baltimore.Welcome aboard and best of luck investing!
