Building a network in the DMV area

[Roberto Hernandez]

I'm trying to build a network, find connections, and mentors in the DMV area to begin my real estate journey.

A little backstory, I'm active duty stationed in the DMV area (Bethesda), living in Bowie, MD. I had the mindset that I needed to be educated before I jump into real estate and that the DMV area was too expensive for a beginner but that mindset started to become an excuse. I connected with a friend in NC whose building a large real estate portfolio, and he had me start driving for dollars. He wanted me to learn my area, and start developing an eye for off-market distressed homes so I could wholesale to build financial capital to invest myself.

I have a 9-year goal, to retire from the military with enough of a real estate portfolio that I wouldn't need to do a day over 20 years. I understand being full-time military and building a real estate portfolio can be difficult but again that's an excuse. It has been done before so I intend to do just that, serve my country and build financial freedom.

I cannot build this on my own, if your in the DMV area I would love to connect, ask questions, and build meaningful relationships

Hey Roberto,

I’m here in Baltimore and a rookie in this space as well. Currently learning and researching myself and looking to start investing in first property within next few months.
