Maryland real estate attorney here.  

My goal here is to finally get into real estate investing and hopefully get my first property here soon.

I am an investor based in Fairfield County, CT and just rejoined BP after many years away.From 2005-2011, I got up to ~150 units in SF & MF both rehab & new construction, Class B & C, but (regrettably) sold all to focus on institutional real estate and private equity.Since selling off, I got an MS degree in real estate and participated in most asset classes institutionally ($10-250mm+) with a focus on SF & MF.

Things are going well with this property which has sparked this desire to seriously pursue Real Estate Investing as a full-time business!

Consider the potential for increased property value and rental income against the additional management responsibilities and possible tax implications.Remember to consult with local authorities and possibly a real estate attorney to ensure full compliance with all regulations in your specific area.Let me know if you need funding for the rehab.Regards,Jackson

It is very crucial to have someone who knows real estate, not just rentals to help maintain the books. 

Starting your journey in real estate investing can feel both exciting and overwhelming.

sales commish  loan fees on new loans etc etc.. seems knee jerk to me.. but hey I am not finding those issues with Vegas LOW property taxs some of hte lowest in the country and unlike FLA and TX very low insurance because limited to know real issues with bad @$$ storms like those other states. 

Have you ever partnered with a private or hard money lender for a real estate deal?

After that I am thinking about going right for my real estate license.
