Hello everyone,

I am a new invester from the Philadelphia suburbs.  I just closed on my first rental unit, a duplex, yesterday 10/7.  I am very excited about the possibilities!  Leading up to closing I have been on the bigger pockets website almost every day learning and absorbing all of the great information.  My hope is to continue learning and grow my one property to many and become a successful investor.

Congrats on your first deal @Matthew Koch ! And congrats on joining the site.

I'm also based out of the Philly Suburbs (West Chester/Exton but my company is located in Newtown Square) and I've been investing in the area for the past 30 years. 

So if you ever have any questions, feel free to ask.

Also, if you haven't joined already, you should definitely check out our local national REIA group called DIG (Diversified Investors Group). Their main meeting is once a month in Horsham and the first one you attend is free.

I've made a lot of great contacts going there over the years, so I highly recommend it.

There's also a Chester county sub-group that meets in West Chester. You can find out the dates and more info on them and other sub-groups here:

Keep in touch.

Best,

Dave
