You can't go wrong with Keller Williams.

I agree 100%. Back in 2005, my sister used to send out hand addressed letters to absentee owners in Charlottesville. I had a lady call me and said they following "I had no plans to sell my house but after getting your 6th letter I decided to sell." I bought the home, immediately relisted it, and made a very nice profit.

We have bought many fix and flip properties in Waldorf over the years. I think the rental yields would be good there. I would focus on the better neighborhoods. Good luck!

@Evan Roberts - welcome. We are looking for good contractors in Baltimore. We also fix and flip and buy and hold in Baltimore. Let's connect.

@Erik Kamatro - I've tried it and I've had two companies try it and we have all failed. Budget was a few thousand per month. I feel like we set the filters properly. We think we have a better idea how to do now - hopefully it will work. Thanks!

@Erik Kamatro - we have failed miserably at generating motivated seller leads of FB - but I am determined to find a way to make it work!

If you find a true deal it will be easy to sell it.

I don't agree at all with save money at your job before you invest. I was in your same position in 2002. I was 2 years out of graduate school, had a negative $80k net worth, was making $60k a year and had a new born son. I worked full-time and then came home at 6 - got my son to bed at 8 and worked until 11/12 every night and on weekends. I hand addressed thousands of letters, put out bandit signs and door hangers and networked like crazy. I didn't have much money to market - hundreds of dollars. I found my first house on a listserv I was on and bought it subject-to. I borrowed $20,000 from my mom who was a nurse. Fast forward to today and I have a development business, a fix and flip business that does 200+ homes per year and a rental portfolio of 80 homes. Needless to say, I no longer have a negative net worth.

So my advice - go make it happen. Don't work at your job to save money - b/c it will never happen. Life will get in the way.

sorry to hear that. I hope it works out for you.
