I'm an investor and Real Estate Broker since 2003 and would love to connect with more ladies in the Washington DC Metro area as well as N.

As Ned has shared there are many groups in Baltimore that provide great networking and learning opportunities. 

Report the post as @Ned Carey suggested.2.

I have been buying real estate since 2019 for my own personal portfolio and have continued to have a desire and curiosity on building outside of my portfolio as n investor.

As Ned suggested earlier - and probably Tyrus and others too - come to the free Meetup next Wednesday the 10th in Columbia where you can meet most of the commentatorrs here in person - heck maybe even Account Closed  will show up.If you want to get to know the city and align yourself with people who can help you meet your goals, you need to start attending Meetups like this and others (The Real Deal Meetup - Arbutus). 

Of course as @Ned Carey stated you need to drive through the areas. 

The understanding of both the buyer and the seller need to be the same.2) In simple technical terms, as Ned Carey said, a contract needs:A) An offer (in purchasing real estate it is an offer to purchase, or an offer to sell); B) Acceptance of the offer; and,C) Consideration (each party exchanges something of value - money is exchanged for property and property is exchanged for money).Also - there needs to be a "meeting of the minds" - both parties must have a mutual understanding of, and a mutual agreement to, the terms of the deal.3) A contract is the means by which we capture this understanding and record it in such a way that it can be used to resolve disputes that may arise from the deal.
