Greetings everyone. I'm new to the real estate profession and looking to observe, learn, and get to work. Any guidance is welcomed.

I have been doing some research but hit a road block. 

Then a wise man who was already successful doing what I wanted to be doing shared some common sense that I took to heart: settle on ONE strategy to get started and block out all the other noise, the BS, and the well intentioned but misinformed friends and relatives telling you that you can’t do this.

Even in the “gentrified” neighborhoods of Federal Hill, Fells Point, Canton, Harbor East, desirability can be very block by block so you have to be careful that you understand these neighborhoods (and blocks within) somewhat intimately.

Make sure to research local rates for cohosting and management services to stay competitive.If you're doing this as a side gig or part-time job, it’s essential to time block, create systems, set expectations with property owners, and establish boundaries to ensure a smooth experience for everyone involved.We opted not to pursue rental arbitrage for two key reasons: dealing with landlords and the significant upfront costs to set up and run a profitable STR without the benefit of property ownership.

Block.

Depending on the construction of the building (block or stick, etc), you will want to test the connection strength.  

Know your numbers, strategy, and block out the noise. 

DT or MOrt is what your borrower signs and that MUST be notarized the Note does NOT need to be notarized .. 7. upon recorded you get your lenders policy showing what position loan you made AND on the mortgage or deed of trust there is a Block that is filled in that tells the county recorder to mail this document back to you once recorded..

My advice is focus on getting your first property: buy the worst house on the best block you can afford and fix it up to the quality of the surrounding houses to force appreciation and build equity quickly while your housemates pay most of your mortgage.
