@Jeremy Hart thanks for responding! I could really benefit from being able to speak to someone who knows what they’re doing so that would be great!

Hello, BPers!

I’ve been looking into starting my own property management company since real estate investing first peaked my interest. I think it would be wise for me to work in one first to build the skills and insight I will need to be successful. So, because I am a new investor that doesn’t have much experience with any property management companies in the area (Baltimore, MD), I was wondering if you guys might know any good ones. I’d like to start building good habits with a well recommended one than one most people stay away from.

I just sent in my resume to Bay Management a couple weeks ago and have been waiting for a response. Has anyone worked with them before?

 In the one meeting that I attended, not really. But, I believe that’s just because the whole purpose of that specific meeting was for you get familiar with MAREIA as a whole. They just put a lot of emphasis on the types of people you could network with when attending their classes. I plan to attend some meetings in the future as a non-member so I can see for myself.

Welcome to BP, Kendra!

I'm new to investing too. I attended a free orientation class with the Mid-Atlantic Real Estate Investors Association yesterday at 7pm. It's a membership but it seems pretty worth it. I didn't sign up for it though because I spent enough of my education budget on making my BP account Pro, haha. I definitely consider it in the future, though. It really seems like a great way to learn and connect.

Here's the link to their homepage if you want to see for yourself:

Also, I would recommend that you set up keyword alerts for lenders in the areas of Maryland you're interested in or just Maryland in general, it's helped me out a bunch.

 Will do! I've been looking for a way to meet fellow investors for months now. I'm looking forward to meeting you all!

Using the free workshops to invest is something I hadn't thought of. Thanks a bunch for your insight, @Ross Denman!

A friend of mine sent me a link to a free real estate class ran by Than Merrill that's taking place in Maryland and Washington, DC. Even before joining BP, I never trusted these "free class" ads. Has anyone heard of these guys or attended a class? I was thinking about attending just for the "Real Estate Investors Vocabulary Guide" and the other 4 free books/guides. 

Here's the site she sent me:
