I don't know the Baltimore market but have a friend who is a very savvy investor there and maybe he would do some coaching to help you understand which way is up.

Why are you starting a new thread when you posted this same stuff on an existing thread? 

Are you in the Atlanta Market?

Would you share 3 specific things I should do during my "training period" (if it includes a book, which one)?

Thank you :O 

With things like the ONE Linden plan in Linden, which is a 50M plan to improve the neighborhood.

My professional background is data science / analytics, which means analyzing cash flows will probably come more naturally than building relationships, which apparently, is how one finds deals worth making.Are there meetups in these areas I should attend (digitally at first, presumably)? 

What did you expect @Kristi K.?

Have you considered which markets or property types you're interested in? 

I'd be happy to send you my STR underwriting spreadsheet if you want it.
