Welcome to BP @Kelcy Smith!

I also house hack and have a rental in Missouri.  Looking for my next property in Baltimore City.  Wishing you tons of success this year and beyond!

@Joseph EnglandI like that strategy! What was your source of those GC leads when you started out?

Welcome to BP   ! I'm a current buy and hold investor looking for properties in Baltimore City.  Cheers to your success!

Hi @Lisa MontanaI sent you a PM re: your real estate services in Baltimore city.  I hope to be closing on a deal soon and could also use contractor references.  Thanks for making this post.

Welcome to BP @Akiesha Foster! There is so much information on here.  I really like the Podcasts.  I listen while commuting or just doing stuff around the house.  I'm not familiar with the YouTube channel you mentioned, I'll have to check it out.

What strategy and areas are you considering?

Welcome to Bigger Pockets @Tia Willis! There is so much to learn here.  Please check out the Podcasts, I find them very helpful.  And of course the forums have tons and tons of information plus very helpful and friendly investors. 

@Thomas Franklinthank you for sharing your thoughts on REIA groups. I have already perceived the difference you describe in two groups in my area and was just thinking it was me or I was being overly skeptical.

Hi @Eliza Lunawhat an awesome success story. You are implenting the BRRRR approach very well. Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refi, Repeat.

I'm also interested in this method and am actively looking for properties in Baltimore city. Your numbers may push me into the county. Where do you find your properties? Wholesaler? MLS? And what areas do you target?

I'd love to connect.  There are lots of other active Baltimore investors on BP as well. 

Cheers to success in 2016

Welcome to Bigger Pockets 

@Kevin Wall. 

Hello all -

I am also identifying potential neighborhoods for buy and holds and fix and flips.  My plan is to eventually move into one of my properties (ideally a multi family) so I will be targeting places I'd like to live.  That also makes me feel more comfortable about servicing my properties and tenants in that area.  The links others have posted are very helpful and driving around is VERY useful too. While I live in MD, I'm about 90 min away from Baltimore so I don't spend a lot of time there. 

However,  I also use http://livebaltimore.com/neighborhoods/waverly/#.VsOEidgUXIU to look up neighborhoods.  Content appears to be loaded by community members, but I like the idea of folks being involved in their neighborhood in this way.  I don't consider neighborhoods where at least one user hasn't written something about the area they live in.  Hope this helps.
