As far as if you still have to spray, I would recommend reaching out to a termite professional for incite on that, but if it was me, I would keep up it- since the home is clearly susceptible to termites.  

I would highly recommend for anyone starting out to buy their own deals, and invest in passive index funds until they have a better usage for the capital 

Unless you're a full-time experienced flipper, I would recommend targeting one or two markets that you are very familiar with.

property is @ 550k Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Does anybody have any recommendations of insurance carriers or agents who can help with this type of insurance or something similar to it?  

@Jacqueline Lee, I highly recommend you find a local REIA group to you.  

@Cliff Durrett Not that I recommend it - title loan on your car? 

I would recommend 21239 or Dundalk/ Middle River / Essex in the county.   

What do you guys recommend I do to help further my knowledge and/or path of being a real estate investor.
