New and excited to start investing!

Hi everyone! My name is Lawrence and I live in Maryland, mainly Howard County. I'm new to real estate investing and I'm excited to learn as much as possible. I've read about 3 books from bigger pockets since my interest was peaked about a month ago.

I currently work for a bank and have learned so much through working here but I'm looking to escape the 9-5 and just live a life of freedom!

I've had pro for about a month and have used to calculator to run a few scenarios and it's been really cool, now i really want to dig in and start renting properties out for residual monthly income.

I usually shy away from communicating on forums but every bp podcast says "engage in the forums and get your face/name out there" so here I am! I look forward to meeting all of you!
