New to Real Estate from Philadelphia

[Andrew Kershaw]

Hi, my name is Andrew. I am originally from Bucks County, PA. I went to school in Philly and have lived in Old City fro 3 years (renting). After listening to countless podcasts and looking at what feels like a million listings on MLS, I finally became a BP member. Feel like I am about to get lost in these forums, seems like there is a ton of great information and stories.

I have had some success in the stock market looking for deep value "depressed" stocks. Think I am interested in doing the same in real estate. 

I currently do not have any RE investments but I have been saving and ready to tackle my first investment property. House hacking seems like it might be the best way to get started but I love the strategy of BRRR. Any direction or tips will be greatly appreciated!

HI @Andrew Kershaw

Welcome to BP!

First suggestion is to join your local REIA - Diversified Investors Group - Access, Education, Networking and Opportunities

Second Suggestion would consider obtaining your real estate license - Access to your passion is key.

Finally, consider buying a multi family property aka 'House Hacking' least amount of money out for the most amount of real estate. Makes you a landlord and property owner over night with monetizing your overhead.

Let me know if you have any questions.
