My first niche is going to be wholesaling, to build capital only to invest into more intricate real estate transactions such as rehabbing buy n hold as well as leasing. I'm going to check out the beginners guide right now and also set up my bio so I can express my exact goals.

As your goal is to be an active investor or more specifically an "operator" making money from transactions I think the 1st step you should take is to become licensed.
It will provide you with an education, open up many doors & give you many opportunities to earn in this business.

Welcome to the community! BP has a tremendous amount of information to help you, but it is only available if you seek it out. Be sure to be as active and engaging as possible. Read blogs, post questions, and the podcasts are gold! The best free education you can get. Good luck!
Welcome to BP @Tarrin Lilly As already said there is a big group of investors here from the greater Baltimore area. You might want to set up some "Keyword Alerts" for the areas you want to invest. You will get notified when a post is made that has that keyword.
A lot of members here go to the BWI Meetup near BWI airport. (Easy to find on Google)

@James Wise, I have a question about licensing. What broker would sponsor my license knowing that I plan on doing my own work once I get the license?
I have been looking at properties in CLE. I grew up there and my sister and brother-in-law both work for Transaction Realty. I would love to meet up next time I am in town.
