I recommend listening to the podcasts and staying active on the forums.  

I enjoy many outdoor activities (running, biking, surfing, and skiing) as well as traveling.  

I was going to name my LLC that I use for my fix and flips "Flipping Cleveland" as those of us that have called this gem of a city home have said variations of this over the years in regards to our local governments and/or sports teams... ok, mostly our football team... and the baseball team since the early 2000's... and our basketball team sans LeBron... 

Just remember that wholesaling and flipping are active income, which means time spent for dollars earned.

You need to actively be involved in them.

This is part of my lease:It is understood and agreed that a single violation [illegal activity] shall be cause for immediate termination of the Lease and eviction from the premises.

I'm not aware of an active REIA in this area, though I know there used to be a couple.

I'm an active investor in Chicago West suburbs.

-Side note info: I'm still active duty.

I'm seeing a lot of foreclosure activity in really good parts of Baltimore County.
