I don't know the Baltimore market but have a friend who is a very savvy investor there and maybe he would do some coaching to help you understand which way is up.

I think I was fortunate to find a roll outside of real estate to diversify my income across two different sectors of the economy. 

Then, if or when you decide to sell, you’ll have valuable insights to apply as you roll those proceeds into your next investment property.

Quote from @Pranav Patel: Hello,I'm 22 years old with roughly $50k saved up through part time jobs and internships.

Use tools like:Airbnb Analytics: Monitor impressions, clicks, and overall CTR.IntelliHost: Analyze your listing for category placement and CTR improvements.RankBreeze: Track your listing's performance and ranking changes.You can also A/B test your photos by rotating lead images or running Meta Ads (Facebook/Instagram) or Google Ads to measure which photo drives the most engagement.The Airbnb algorithm is continuously evolving and every host should pay attention as new features are rolled out. 

I’ve read the Bigger Pockets book on long-distance real estate and am eager to get the ball rolling. 

You'll need to roll it over to a custodian (a company that holds and administers the IRA).

Property radar subscription may give it to you.. or a GOOD VA could compile in the counties your interested in. then up date it weekly as new private DTS are recorded

@Ricky Smith if you continue to expand, how will you hire help w/o a PMC set up?

I would recommend that you get out to local meetup events, as that is where you will make the really deep connections to help you get rolling.
