If you’re available to meet or can recommend any events or meet-ups, please reach out.

Meeting that 2 in 5 of the last requirement allows a single owner to shield $250k of appreciation and a married couple to shield $500k.Unless you predict a lot of income from the MTR or you feel that there is a lot of appreciation incoming over the next three years (minus time get the property sold), you may want to consider collecting your $100k (passing GO) and redeploying that money to whatever you feel is its best use. 

This balanced approach meets your financial goals, diversifies risk, and aligns with your preference for conservative real estate investments.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Then you can consider researching and finding something that meets your needs better. 

Have you attended any events from this group: https://www.meetup.com/annapolis-baltimore-real-estate-inves...I have friends that attend similar meetings with REA groups in other markets and say it's really useful.

I'm open to making new connections and meeting new people.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

(I also suggest an in person visit to meet folks and get to know the areas, not to see a particular property but to build relationships.)Once you are active in a market you will start to connect with investors who may be selling, wholesalers who have assignable contracts, and your realtor may also have access to off market opportunities.
