I am in Towson and also new to the field, looking to flip and buy and hold.

Are you planning on holding the properties or returning them to the market after some value add repairs?

I have at least a few months before I have my start-up capital in my hands.

I work as a team with my girlfriend and we’re mainly interested in buy and hold multi-family properties on the smaller end (duplex, triplex up to 15 units).

My husband and I are looking for wholesale deals, rehabs and buy-and-hold multi-families.

You have to know what you are trying to accomplish (flip, hold, where you want to be equity wise, if holding how much rent you'd get, etc) is very likely to happen as planned given all the data.

I am currently educating myself on the best tactics for wholesaling property, as well as strategies for buying, holding, and renting properties to generate cash flow.

I really want to do flips as well as buy and holds (ideally multi-family units, apartments are the goal).

Have been reading and listening to everything I can get my hands on in this site and elsewhere. 

They pay $300K for a 3bed where they are and rent for $2200/mo, we pay $65K for a quality B class property and rent for $850-995 with rehab complete and management in place to make it hands off and as easy as buying a mutual fund, with far better control and performance.
