Over the course of these 10 years, we'll be mainly investing in buy and hold properties but are also interested in doing 1 to 2 flips per year.I've been lurking on BP for the last several weeks and am excited to join the community as an active member.

If you chunk up there are two main ways to invest in real estate, actively and passively.  

Hey, I was just wondering if any investors in PG county could list some zip codes where they invest or know which ones have lot of activity.

I am active in both Jacksonville (FL panhandle) and Bham (Al) but I live in Oregon.

I actually signed up BiggerPockets awhile ago but I didn't become active until recently when I started listening to the Podcasts, boy am I hooked!

One of the markets I have been active in and built a small team over the last few years is Charlotte.  

I also use Quickbooks to handle the books for my S Corp which handles my fix/flip operation and other real estate activities.  

Also, listen to the podcasts and become active in the forums.

I'm currently active duty Air Force and recently returned from a deployment so I have a good starting fund for some investing.
