Hello neighbor. I'm interested in wholesaling also. I continuously read blogs, participate in forums, or listen to podcasts on this website. Any answer or advice your searching for is here. And its free lol. Good luck in your future endeavors. 

I was just about to make a post asking for any book recommendations. Thank you!

Hello @Mark Sidorczuk. And I'll send another hello to everyone in this thread from Maryland. 

@Ned Carey Thank you for your confirmation. I've read that this is a great way of getting started in real estate investing. @Marcia Maynard I will subscribe to the "Landlording and Property Questions" forum. I plan on having money in the reserve for rainy days. But I also want to save the rest to invest. I'm hoping there's enough money to do both. @Sean S Unfortunately I don't think I'll qualify for a loan with my debt. But I am saving for a down payment.  

First and foremost I am new to real estate investing. I finished reading the "Beginners Guide..." and am currently reading "Real Estate Rewind." I thought I wanted to first learn about wholesaling because I thought that was the easiest way into real estate. But now I want to learn about obtaining multi family units. The first benefit for me is it allows me to finally become a homeowner. Not only a homeowner but a landlord. I also like the idea of having someone else pay my mortgage down. So I now have to develop a game plan in order to obtain a multi family unit. First and foremost I know I have to eliminate my debt (credit cards mainly but a few personal loans) in order to obtain a loan. I am a first time home buyer so I'm guessing I need to look into first time home buyer programs. I need to find a Realtor. I live in Edgewood, MD so my demographic is Harford and Baltimore County. Is there anything else I'm missing? Any advice or critique to my plans? 

What does it mean to vote under a person's response?

Wow. I wasn't expecting a response so quickly. @Paul Timmins I'll have to purchase those 2 books by J Scott. I already downloaded the free ebooks. Thanks for the advice on HUD homes and Niche & Specialized housing. @Heather Jones hey neighbor. I will definetly attend the Harford REIA meeting. I live 5 minutes down the street from there.

My name is David. I'm new to the real eatate business. My main job is an airplane parts assembler. Honestly I'm sick of a 9-5 job. I want to work for myself. As some of you can relate I came across the idea of real estate after reading "The Unfair Advantage" and "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kioysaki. From there I developed an interest in real estate. I want to learn about wholesaling due to my lack of funds. My money is tied up in bills. Eventually I would like to obtain a couple rental properties and maybe even do fix and flips. I downloaded and am currently reading the ebooks off this website. Any feedback, motivation, and advice is surely appreciated.
