New member looking to connect with Pittsburgh and Morgantown WV market

Joy Helton
Posted Jun 20 2023, 13:15

Hello everyone,

Glad to be a member of this informative site.  Looking forward to connect with other investors, wholesalers, lenders, construction company as well as mentor willing to impart wisdom and guidance to a newbie.


I created my LLC last November and bought my first property out of necessity (march of this year ) in WV then another property in PA. Wanted to buy more properties this year but don't know where to start. Looking for more appreciation than cash flow properties.

Hello Joy!   I’m In Morgantown, WV.  I flipped my first house in 2016 and used the money to build a rental. Never looked back….  Next time around Motown we’re grab a coffee and chat.  Best Wishes!  Andy

Welcome, Joy! I recently moved to the  Waynesburg area between Morgantown and Pittsburgh, and am networking in both markets. You'll see Morgantown does have a location tag here on BP Forums (shoutout to @Seth Timmerman!) Pittsburgh is a well-established market that works well for just about any investment strategy you'd like to focus on. Morgantown is a bit more on the up-and-coming list, but there's some serious opportunity! There are great groups in both locations, with members active both here on the Forums, and in Facebook Groups. There's a BP/Subto group in Pittsburgh that meets weekly in the Strip District, and Seth started a monthly meetup in Morgantown! Stay connected and get some of these meet-ups in your calendar; it's a great way to get some traction in your investing journey! Chat soon, K

Welcome Joy!

Realtor / Investor / Property Manager here in the Northside of Pittsburgh. 

If you're looking for appreciation and long term hold, I'd recommend Millvale, Troy Hill, Brighton Heights and Marshall. You can still reap cashflow as well as a juicy exit come 'dahn' the road. 

Would love to connect further.

All the best,

Macen

Also just do a search on Facebook for REIA and ACRE Pittsburgh, you'll find some more of the established, formal-style REIA groups!
