Good evening everyone...just wanted to say hello and that there seems to be a vast array of great info on this site (I have not even scratched the surface). I am new to REI and am interested in multifamily rentals primarily near where my family lives in eastern PA about an hour north of Philadelphia and an hour west of New York City. We are also kicking around the idea of purchasing in the Tampa, FL area. Looking forward to educating myself here and gaining as much knowledge as possible.

Find a local Meet ups to begin expanding your network. I'm over in Philly. Would be great to stay in touch and hear about inroads you've made in the real estate game. Cheers, Ahmed
