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.

Report the post as @Ned Carey suggested.2.

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.

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

If there is an operation always available, they are either big enough to charge retail, or small and not busy (which may say something about their ability or reputation).As Ned stated, local experienced investor colleagues will often have experience with the best vendors of each type to work with.
