I’ve currently been trying to build my network around the capital region and also attending that event.

Time to re-tenant for STNL depends on the area and box size and if you are going for a national, regional, or mom and pop tenant to back fill the space ( In a warm belt state could take 3 months to 1 year from time of marketing the space, LOI phase, lease forward commitment, tenant build out, and opening for occupancy)  .

The inspection will be completed in is Baltimore City, The Program is the Baltimore Regional Housing Partnership.

Start with your local/regional banks and credit unions.Since you're new to Real Estate Investing (REI), I strongly recommend posting all of the details here.

Search for the local credit unions and small regional banks.

As you all know, the market in this area is pretty hot right now and I am looking for advice from others who have purchased a live-in flip in the Triangle region. 

What region are you in?

Travel to storm damaged regions of the world and redevelop property to help those communities rebuild. 

I own a few units in the capital region/tri-city area .  

The purple line (express train downtown), red line, Northwestern, proximity to the lakefront, and solid schools are assets that will ensure healthy rental growth long term.
