Hey BP Family, My name is Armon, I am new to Baltimore city and looking to connect with great people who love REI and also wholesalers, developers, rehabbers, other entrepreneurs & like-minded people who desire to...

I've called my network and got one great referral.

Any advice from the more seasoned members would be greatly appreciated, and I would definitely be interested in networking with some of the local investors, especially those who have also successfully done a house-hack of some sort in the north Chicagoland area.

Awaiting our CPA to confirm. 

Network at local events and youll find someone.

Networking is key, go to local meetups and put yourself out there. tell everyone around you are getting into real estate, i'm sure someone will know someone that can introduce you.

Have you spoken to a CPA about what the final numbers would be?

I have also began networking by messaging some folks that are active in the San Antonio area.
