On that note, I am confident that I can find ways to provide value to anyone who is willing to spend time helping me get my real estate career off the ground.If you are aware of any on-going meetups in or around the Annapolis, MD area or are looking for a mentorship opportunity, please let me know!

Average Market rate is $1,200 (all utilities)Section 8 $1,277 (I just have to cover the water bill)Median income in my zip code is about 25k.This is my train of thought in choosing section 8: I feel confident I'd be able to find a non-section 8 tenant that meets the 3x earning rule but in this high risk market I would rather get steady income.

As i am going over the material it seems to me after the training they will present their coaching programs or some sort of program to help jump start your RE investment path with them. the program seemed like it was packed with a lot of info so I thought itll be worth a shot to hear but any tips, pointers or things i should expect when attending these seminars? 

I'm not sure what course or training you are doing, but I'd just recommend you to go virtual.

There are also investor clubs like For Investor By Investor (FIBI), Keiretsu Forum, The Mile Marker Club, Freedom Founders, etc. that have various programs available that allow you to gain access to their member base either by paying a fee to pitch your deal or becoming an training resource to their members at their various events. 

They offer training for owners who want self manage.

Haha, that's kinda the way I'm planning on going at it.

They do online training for pre license and continue education for the national exam and certifications for certain states depending on their licensing.

Excited to be talking to someone who is local to me so sorry if I come at you like a train with my questions!

Planning on going the deadbolt type.
