These are just deals I have invested in with other people. 

If you think something is wrong with the way it s done, teach people how to do it right.

I wouldn't accuse people that write listings to be knowledgeable in insurance. 

Anything past that might feel weird.Good job going to your first one, that is a great step that too many people miss out on.

I think others have given you great advice.For most people I say go to some meetup groups for a year. 

So infilling an income gap via people who can disappear just as easily as appear seems short sighted to me. 

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. 

The 15-20 year run people had is gone, so be VERY careful with listening to some of these "real estate gurus." 7.

I suggest you start out by meeting like minded people and here is a link to a local meetup in the OC: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1225233-ocre...Good Investing...

The big thing is always focus on protecting the public, disclose, and take care of people.
