I must say that I'm very excited that I have come across Biggerpockets. I am looking forward to building relationships, learning, and hopefully finding great people to do business with. I am from Johnstown, PA and have been living near Baltimore, Md for a little over a year. I will be moving to Philadelphia in about a month, so I will be looking to wholesale there as well as back near Baltimore because I know there are good markets. Happy to have joined this network of experienced and helpful investors!

    Welcome @Jack Schrey !

    I feel the same way about BP. There is so much to learn here. I love how you can find info on any REI topic. If you have a question chances are the answers are on the site.

    My advice is to read the blog articles and listen to the podcasts. You will learn a ton. 

    Good luck with your move. If I can be of any REI assistance or even finding your new residence here in Philly, let me know.PM me for contact info.

    Welcome, @Jack Schrey.  Complete newbie myself, but I'll be looking to make my first deal in SE PA soon, so I'll be interested in how you do.

    Thanks,

    Chaz

    Welcome to BP Jack, it is a wonderful community!  Baltimore is a great place to invest if you're looking to force equity by doing rehabs (or wholesaling to others who are).  If you'd ever like advice on a property or neighborhood just let me know and I'd be glad to help.  Good luck!

    Welcome to the party! Learn as much as you can and definitely ask questions if you have any.

    I am from east Baltimore county and when I went to college I went to Penn State Altoona so I'm familliar with Johnstown, PA. Currently living in York, PA though. Would like to connect with you so we can see if we can do business together.

    Welcome to BP @Jack Schrey I think the Philly market and the Baltimore market have a lot of similarities. 

    I love working in Baltimore and think it is a great place to invest. But I also believe in investing locally. the people that get the best deals are the ones that know there market best. So just starting out it may be better to learn and work the Philly market if that is where you are going to be.
