Just found this site about 15min ago. Brand new REI from Washington,PA. Have only read a few posts and already I like it. Just wanted to say hello to everyone. So far this seems like a friendly forum.
Welcome to the site and I hope you find many more forums and threads as helpful as the ones you read. Feel free to ask all the questions you want and browse through all the forums and threads here on biggerpockets! I too would like to know a bit more about yourself so that we know who is the person behind the name. Tell us what got you interested in REI and how you found yourself on biggerpockets? Tell us what type of REI interest you the most and what you would like to learn from that topic? Thanks for becomong a new member here on biggerpockets and hope to hear form you soon enough!
WOW!! Talk about friendly! Well you guys wanted personal info so here goes. First off Washington is about 30 miles SW of Pittsburgh. For myself I'm 36 and have been interested in REI for at least the past 12yrs. Read a bunch af RE books over that time and finally decided about 3wks ago to get started. Actually I went with my nephew to a NFI seminar and from the info they presented and my longstanding interest we both said why not. Presently we're looking at REO's and some 2-4 unit rentals, but not really focusing on any given area. Rehabs, rentals, whatever. Whatever I can do to get out of my present job and work for myself(the BEST boss in the world!). Thanx for the replies and don't worry I'll be posting here again real soon!
Sam is a Pittsburgh investor who is a bit ahead of you. You two might want to connect. He introduced himself a few weeks back. I think he put Pittsburgh in the subject. If not I can find you the link. Just let me know if you need it.
A friendly welcome from PA. Hope you enjoy the site. This is IMO the best forum on the net to get REI information. If you want a little more PA info visit ********** dot com and find their podcast section and listen to the one called "From farmer to landlord" it's about a guy from Johnstown that started buying investment properties in his home town and is doing pretty well and started up a REIA. It'll give you a little taste of what someone relatively close to you is doing with REI.
