Hi Keith, 

I'm glad to hear to you are redirecting your focus in real estate investing. I'd love to help you get started. To get on the right path on your first deal and maximize your limited capital for generating sufficient cash flow, focus on setting clear goals, researching the local market, and analyzing potential properties which most local agents can help you. I would try to connect with wholesalers. They typically have undervalue deals that you could buy to flip. The next step is to find a hard money lender that can help you finance this deal. They typically can lender you 80/90% LTV and 100% of the construction. Having a good understanding of the market is vital.

Let me know how I can help!

Congratulations on your decision to pursue real estate investment through the BRRRR strategy! Finding a knowledgeable and experienced real estate agent who understands your investment goals and can help you identify viable opportunities is crucial to your success.

To start your search for a realtor in Baltimore, MD, you can begin by researching and comparing several real estate agents in the area. Look for agents who have experience working with real estate investors, particularly those who specialize in the BRRRR strategy.

You can also consider reaching out to local real estate investment groups and networking events to connect with other investors and professionals who may be able to provide recommendations. Online forums and social media groups focused on real estate investment can also be a valuable resource for finding potential realtors.

However I think Columbus, Ohio is a better prospect market to do BRRRR, flips, and rental. I'd love to share more info if you are interested.
