Hello BP,

My name is Dan; I am a physician currently living in Scranton, PA.  My goal is to buy and hold a 3+ unit property in the WNY area within the next six months.  I grew up in WNY, spend much of my time there, and may return in the future.

I am currently in the process of learning as much as possible about real estate investing and have found the BP site and podcasts invaluable.  

After buying my first property, I would like to continue to acquire multi-family properties, gradually increasing in size and scope.

As time is my most limited commodity at this point, and I am living in a different area, I am going to have my property managed by a second party.  I have a family member that is an excellent HVAC technician and is very interested in learning property management.

I am aware that I will also need to partner with other members of a team, including a real estate accountant and lawyer, though am unsure when those steps should be undertaken in the process.

Thanks for any advice!  Looking forward to future discussions.

Dan
