Looking for a Local Partner (Mentor) in Pittsburgh – Fix & Flip / BRRRR

[Michael Shenouda]

Hello All,

I’m just a regular W-2 guy with a family, based in the Pittsburgh area. Real estate investing has been on my radar for a while now (2022 judging by my post history, lol), and I’ve spent countless hours reading, analyzing deals, listening to podcasts. It’s gotten to the point of where I am definitely suffering from analysis paralysis.

I'm especially interested in Fix & Flip and BRRRR strategies (house hacking isn't an option, I'm not looking to uproot my family). I've crunched the numbers, studied the risks, and feel more than ready to take the next step… but here's the thing holding me back: the only way I could access the seed capital I need to get started would be by tapping into our retirement accounts. And I'm just not willing to do that unless I'm confident this path can work for me long-term.

That’s why I’m hoping to connect with a local partner or mentor — someone active in the Pittsburgh market (or surrounding suburbs) who might be open to teaming up on a deal or letting me contribute in any way I can: time, effort, deal analysis, boots on the ground, whatever’s needed. I’m available evenings and weekends and willing to hustle around my W-2 job to make it work.

If you’re open to connecting, I’d really appreciate the chance to chat. Thanks for reading!
