And they talk with a real estate agent so they are confident in what to expect with the ARV.  

Hi all, I have been interested in getting involved in real estate investing for quite some time, and I am just now feeling brave enough to start actually taking action!

Looking back that was still the best real estate decision I've ever made.

I am a new investor to real estate, residing in Southern Maryland.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

I fear the timing may be an issue with the large transaction volumes, and money in money out scenario.Any advice regarding the best accounts for SPE LLCs used to invest in and hold real estate would be greatly appreciated. 

Truthfully I'm struggling even finding a solid real estate agent.Can anyone provide advice or similar experience?

@Peter FaulknerRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
