I am a 16 year buy-and-hold investor who recently became an real estate agent to help other investors since it has been so hard to find an agent willing to do investor work!  I own 3 houses in Maryland (2 in Calvert where I live, and one in Prince Georges Cty) and 3 in Ocala Fl, managed by my son.

In addition to  buy-and hold investments (which I'm really familiar with), I am interested in learning more about hard money:  what it is, how it works; how you create those connections, and plan to mine Bigger Pockets for all it's worth - I look forward to participating in the forums!
