Hello from Pittsburgh, PA

[Nathan Ward]

Hello biggerpockets. I would like to introduce myself to the community and hopefully make some connections. A lot can be learned just from the posts and learning material, and I thank you all for that.

Early in my 20's, I considered real estate to be a good career, but ended up with an engineering degree and currently work in the energy sector. This has come to be a blessing, considering I now have the liquidity to actually invest! My plan is to continue working until enough real estate is amassed to support a comfortable lifestyle.

REI experience: purchased REO in 2010, renovated, currently my residence. Purchased duplex in 2013, fully rented. Looking for next property, most likely a single family home to flip. Thus far, I've used all cash to purchase.

Thanks,

Nathan

Hi Nathan. Welcome to the community. Have you checked out the local REIA - ACRE yet?

A lot of wholesalers are there so you may be able to score a potential flip property there. Flips in Pittsburgh aren't as plentiful as you think. You can get houses cheap, but because of the age of most homes, repair costs can easily kill deals.

Gotta network and market. Good luck!
