There is a very active REIA in Hagerstown (Hub City REIA) that has some people from MoCo and Frederick that attend.

I no longer wish to be watching from the sidelines and would like to get active!

Tyson, first you have to activate your license by affiliating with a broker (I'm assuming you have a salesperson's license).

I have all of these sites up when searching for 1-Local Realty MLS (local vs national also has cheaper deals) 2-Crime Reports (at my price point, i want ot make sure you're only choosing "safe" neighborhoods and most municipalities have some sort of online presence with 30-60 days of crime reports) 3-Rentometer (this is a pretty accurate rent aggregator to tell you the low/medium/high rents for that address 4- Craigslist to see what type of rental activity is listed there.4) While you're there, meet up with some turnkey managers and property managers.

By the way, I'm pretty active in Pittsburgh, so feel free to reach out if you want to bounce ideas off somebody or otherwise share information.

Glad to see some activity coming out of Raleighwood :-)I've been in the Greenville area all my life, except for a few years up in the triangle (I went to UNC).

Houston has 3 very active REIA groups you should check out and get involved with, RICH, Wealth and Quest IRA.Set some goals and stick with them!

I found him rude and arrogant and wound up somewhat amused by his act by the end of the day.I was a complete newbie and probably totally naive - this was the first speaker I had ever seen through our REIA - and I wound up signing up for a weekend conference that was supposedly being put on by a guest speaker who came in for an hour during that day (I didn't want anything to do w/Foxx, but I thought this other speaker had potential).

I was thinking that especially when it comes to retirement accounts that the IRS would make every effort to make the case this kind of activity falls under broker/dealer activity and apply UBIT or classify it as a prohibited transaction to blew up a SDIRA or penalize a SoloK transaction.

I handled many of the property management functions and loved it.I currently run an event services company which serves my other passion of dog sports - my husband and I show and train Boxers and Dobermans, and are active in hosting and managing shows and trials.Getting ready to put my first house on the market, which is a property I lived at in Beloit, WI before getting married and moving to Rockford.
