New Member Introduction

[Matt Sawicki]

My name is Matt Sawicki and I live in the Philadelphia area. I am new to real estate investing and I am hoping to get some tips, advice and knowledge from experienced investors. I am looking to invest in single and multi family properties and ideally I would like to build a portfolio of 4 or 5 homes to rent out and hold for a while. I would like to do this to supplement my wife's income to give her the ability to work part time or not work at all so that she can spend more time at home with our 2 kids. I am 30 years old and I do have some experience with home renovations and repairs/maintenance but I am looking to learn more. I am young and very motivated to start investing.

The question that I have for experienced investors is, what is the best way to find properties to buy? For someone new just starting out, it seems like a daunting task to find an income producing property so any help that someone can give me would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to reading the many articles and threads on this website and learning as much as I can about real estate investing.
