Hello, new investor here!

Hello Bigger Pockets family!

My name is Mark, I'm 41 years old and brand new to real estate investing. When the COVID quarntine started, I decided to pick up some books to read since I had some spare time, and one of those books was Rich Dad Poor Dad which was an eye opener. Since then I've been reading, listening to podcasts, joining facebook groups and online forums, watching YouTube videos and everything else real estate investment related. I start a new job in Aug-Sep and will be relocating to the Baltimore area where I will start investing. I'm excited, and very thankful for the knowledge and experience shared here in the BP community! I can't wait to gain some knowledge and experience myself and start giving back.

Cheers!

Mark

@Mark Franklin way to take advantage of the COVID quarantine! BP has a lot of people and resources that will be able to help you along your journey. 

Best of luck with your move to Baltimore. My recommendation would be to study that market a bit before jumping in. Talk to a few investors there and see their strategies. Different types of investing works in different areas!
