Rehabber/Wholesaler from NoVA working in the Baltimore market

[Robert Haworth]

Hi Everyone!

My name is Robert and I'm glad to be here networking with like minded people. My wife found Bigger Pockets earlier this year. I'm a systems engineer who is transitioning away from government work over the next year. Over the last several years, my wife and I have purchased and done light-moderate rehab on several properties in Chester County, PA, just west of Philadelphia where I am from.

Now I am looking to increase my activity in an area closer to home (Reston, VA/DC, near Dulles airport). We have a goal of replacing my income and building more passive income for retirement. We bought a run down property in Baltimore and made it shine, now in the selling phase. We are trying seller financing, preferred to managing rentals or property managers in Baltimore City. End unit row house is located in a transitional/stable area, Walbrook, need some ideas on this one. We have strengths in crunching numbers, and doing the project management for rehabs, even pitching in and doing the grunt work where necessary. Haven't done as much marketing, have read about it alot, and looking to increase my skills or partner with someone to show me how it's done. Also, don't relish the sell to retail paradigm in certain markets. Know that's part of the process, but not our favorite.

Like to meet savvy Baltimore experts for coffee and drive around with and talk real estate. Also willing to lend our skills to someone who has a need for what we do well. Trying to determine if this is the right market for us, or if we should wholesale in NoVA for current income.

If any of this resonates, please reply in the forum here and contact me!

Thank You,

Robert Haworth
