The training, documentation and support have been really helpful in getting me up and running.

While the next year, try and do 2 with conventional loans... build up enough connections or lender support for the 3rd year, when I can flip 4 houses...

Welcome to the bp family, you are in the right for getting your questions answered and getting the support to achieve your goals.I'm in Charlotte too, please let me know if there is anything you would like to know about our Charlotte group.

I'm a constant learner and spend my free time listening to BP/other podcasts and reading forums/blogs.My real estate goals starts with forming a plan to build a scaleable business in rehabbing properties in an effort to make communities better while supporting my family.

It's a tough State to foreclose in and you'll have several regulatory hurdles to clear in order to do business there.

I'm looking to find a trustworthy community of investors that can offer wisdom and support.

I would be happy to discuss the associated costs but suffice it to say many locations in Baltimore City do support rehab projects.

If the numbers support $55-$60 /sf than that's the offer I would submit.

Portfolio loan = In house loan = Bank uses it's own money.You could probably get better rates, assuming good credit, appraisal supports price etc.

And it's probably the route that I would recommend since it can take several years for a new agent to build up enough income to support a family.
