There are so many great people and resources throughout BP that will be great to build a foundation and continue you learning.

I have been in many properties where private pay people rented and trashed the place. 

This group is full of knowledgeable people, though you may sometimes get conflicting advice.

I'm also considering Halethorpe because it's a good commuter location.Some people really like supporting the city in which case , northeast Baltimore would seem to the best place to buy a single family, in my opinion given the taxes situation and given that none of those areas are walkable I’d rather just be in the county and pay Lower taxes, and it’s not like northeast Baltimore is much that much cheaper than Baltimore county, hathorpe is mixed, arbutus is nice, I hate the housing stock there, would rather be in Catonsville if I was considering western Baltimore county. 

I am seeing a lot more people go that route instead of turnkey.
