What about places like Howard and Anne Arundel counties, that are centrally located between Baltimore, DC, Annapolis, and by and large service the military industrial complex?

@Clayton Howard Go to your local meetups, talk to realtors and title companies, most of the time they will know some private money lenders.

I'll put in a good word for Andrew Howard with KW.

I would appreciate any thoughts on this.Thanks,Howard

@Howard Gorman - This is a tough scenario.

Hey everyone, my name is Kyle and I am 22 years old from Howard County Maryland.

@Adam Howard I'm a big fan of the 1st position heloc, as you're able to pay down your balance with idle funds, then when a deal comes up you'll simply stroke a check.

Just to contribute something of my own to the discussion, here's a few books I've been reading:- Mastering the Market Cycle by Howard Marks- Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk by Peter BernsteinLike some of the other recommendations, they're not real estate specific, but I'm finding that getting a broad understanding of financial history is helping me find my footing in the multifamily world. 

I have a split foyer in Howard County, MD.

@Kevin Howard I recommend testing out some property management software companies to see which one would be the best fit for your rental business.Ever since I've been using a property management software to manage my rentals, it's been so much easier.
