Hey everyone,
I’m based in Philadelphia and recently licensed in NJ and PA. This year I’m intentionally focused on working with investors and developers in the residential space, particularly those acquiring and repositioning small multifamily properties.
My background is in high end residential architecture, where I was deeply involved in day to day operations, client management, and bringing large scale custom builds from concept through construction. That experience gave me a strong understanding of construction, timelines, and how value is created on the ground. I naturally evaluate properties through both a financial and design lens, which I believe adds value when analyzing deals or planning renovations.
Alongside working with investors, I’m also planning to purchase my first investment property this year. I want to build in this space both professionally and personally.
I joined BiggerPockets because I want to surround myself with people who are actively building. At 23, it can be challenging to find like minded investors and developers in everyday life, so I’m intentional about learning from those further ahead and building real relationships in this space.
If you’re investing or developing in NJ or the Philadelphia market, I’d love to connect. I’m serious about this industry and excited to contribute wherever I can.
Nice to meet you and thanks for reaching out. I appreciate the welcome.
I’m just starting to connect more with investors and people in the lending space as I transition deeper into real estate. My background is actually in high end residential architecture so I come at deals with a design and construction perspective.
Would be great to stay connected and learn more about what you’re seeing in the market.
Welcome. If you come across anything compelling in the Mount Airy section of Philadelphia, please feel free to share. I already have access to the MLS, so it would need to be something that is not listed there. The specifications below are very intentional.
• Mixed use buildings or conversion opportunities along Germantown Avenue where the ground floor has the spatial capacity to seat 100 or more restaurant patrons, with a residential component above that can generate at least 50% of the building’s total gross rental revenue.
• Land suitable for development of stacked duplex three-bedroom units around 1,500 SF. Need a 20x50 building footprint to accomplish this.
• Land suitable for townhomes around 2,200 SF with two-car garages.
• Mixed use buildings that can be renovated where the commercial component accounts for less than 20% of the total rental revenue.
• Properties listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in the RSA'S or CMX's zoning districts with at least 3,000 SF of interior space that has historically been used for commercial purposes.
Stuart this is great detail. I spend most of my time digging for off market and value add so this lines up well. I’ll keep an eye out in Mount Airy and along Germantown Ave and send anything that fits your criteria.
@Emily Elizabeth Veronica Wright impressive that you are already leveraging your unique experience and developing a well thought out focus for your career and investing. I did not know what a mortgage was at 23 lol. There is a lot going on in Philly as far as gatherings, online activity, sharing of info etc. Feel free to connect and reach out. Been doing Philly for 10 years now and learn something new every day from the wonderful people I network with.
Sheryl thank you so much I really appreciate that. I’m definitely still learning every day but trying to be intentional about where I’m heading.
I would love to connect and get more involved with what’s going on in Philly and meet more great people. would really value staying in touch and learning from you as well
I have a highly engaged group of Philly Landlords and a Philly centric newsletter you may find helpful. There is a lot of info out there and it can be overwhelming and confusing. I work on ways to try to make it easier to filter out the noise.
