Ready to start the long and exciting journey into the world of real estate investing, any experienced wholesalers in the Maryland area whose brain I can pick?

@Conner Hecht ,

I'd bet money on it. Start going to your local REI meetups as often as you can. Get to know the other wholesalers (and everyone else) and form relationships with them. Some people are willing to spill their guts for a cup of coffee, or even get on a call with you.

There are tons.  The really good ones won't want their brain picked or to get a cup of coffee.  Bring them a deal and they will talk.
