Hi All!

I have lived in or around Philadelphia for the majority of my life (except for a extended stint in Istanbul after college), and am truly proud to call myself a Philadelphian. I am a Realtor first and run my investment business with a partner. I am passionate about real estate and find myself to be one of the lucky few to be able to say that I love my career and wake up excited everyday to start something new or tackle an issue.

I have perused the forums here from time to time, but I thought I should finally stop creeping in the shadows. I look forward to meeting new people, learning new things, and growing my business.

I know there are already a few meetups in the Philadelphia area, but I would be interested in starting something specific to Center City and with an emphasis or interest aligned with 'green' building practices . I'm thinking something very informal, but at a standing time over breakfast. If anyone else has interest, please let me know!

    Welcome Hilary!

    There is a great meetup tomorrow. You should check it out.

    http://www.meetup.com/Bigger-Pockets-Pennsylvania-REIA/

    What areas of Philly do you own property? Mostly center city?

    I am sure you would have lots of interest if you put together a presentation on green rehabing and/or landording.

    Thanks, Rafael!

    The meetup's topic looks interesting - there is always something new to learn about sheriff sales. Do you usually go to these? Are you involved in its organization?

    Most of my investment properties are in Istanbul, but I am in Philadelphia's River Wards. I have been doing more rehabs these days, though - I'm first to admit that I love projects, and may have an addiction. Where do you do your rehabs?

    Hi @Hilary Karaman welcome to BP. I like your interest in green building practices very interesting and possibly a fun potential niche. I'm also located in the center city area, moved here from Florida 8 months ago, but I love it here! Anyway looking forward to connecting with you in the future
