Newbie from Brooklyn looking in Baltimore/Dundalk

Hello BP. I am a newbie investor living in Brooklyn. I have actually been a lurking member for a while now. I spent most of that time reading and learning. I am looking to invest in the Dundalk neighborhood in Baltimore County. It's where I grew up so I feel I know the area well. I'm looking at SFH and some of the small duplexes.

In the next few months I am going finish off saving my down payment and some extra funds so that I can acquire the first property around the end of 2017. I'm looking to use the BRRR method to build a portfolio. I'll need a lot of advice analyzing and moving past the paralysis part. My mom just bought her first house so I'm looking to follow her lead. The next time I'm in town I'm going to try to go to the BWI meet-up. Are there any other ones in Baltimore that you guys like?

I hope I can help you all with whatever you need as well. It's good to be here.
