Noob in Harrisburg, PA

hello everyone. My name is Philip Kilmer IV, im from a small town in Juniata County and recently moved to Harrisburg Pennsylvania where I work for the Dept of Revenue. I went to The Pennsylvania State University and graduated with a degree in Economics from the Smeal Business College. Ive always been extremely interested in investing and have really turned my attention to real estate. I have absolutely no backround or experience, but after doing some research I have decided to focus on wholesaling. I have seen plenty of the get rich quick schemes by all the "gurus" and am extremely skeptical, however after reading through some forums here, I still desire to begin my real estate investing career with wholesaling. I have no money to really get started, so my options are limited. But at this stage I am just gathering as much information and attaining as much knowledge as I possibly can, in order to begin my real estate investing career the right way. I believe there is great potential here in Harrisburg despite the city's recent economic conditions. I'm excited to get started, and appreciate any tips and knowledge you guys can pass on. I look forward to speaking with you, and thanks for taking the time to read my intro. Be blessed!

@Phil Kilmer

Welcome, there are 2 real estate groups in Harrisburg area, as well as a group in York and one in Lancaster. I attend all of them, and fortunately they are on different nights.

Harrisburg is a great area to invest, with the capital the state is the number one employer and the feds are the number two employer, and the unemployment rate is the lowest in the state. The prices for real estate are reasonable, much lower than larger metro areas, but probably not as low as you are used to in Juniata.
