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.

As far as acquisition is concerned, I would recommend joining various investment Facebook groups in your area.

I personally recommend that if you have good debt on the first one to take a heloc, and if your debt is meh to potentially look into cashout refi’ing on the 1st building and keeping your eyes open for the next opportunity :) Analyze both accordingly and talk to your lender as well as other investors to get their thoughts!
