Hi everyone,

My name is Josh Kravets and I am a senior at Temple University, awaiting my finance degree. I was born in raised in Bucks County, and now live near Temple. I have listened to the BP podcast for a while now and I'm excited to finally join the community! 

Some of my real estate background: my family is in the development business and I have been working in the industry for a couple years. I have mostly been finding and getting in touch with owners of distressed properties or forgotten about land, a lot of it going to the sheriff's sale. This entails sending letters and yes, cold calling. I work out whatever deals I can, usually to buy and hold or for the business to develop. Most of the properties have been in the Fishtown/East Kensington/West Kensington areas.

 I am here to try to grow my network: get in touch with local investors and players in the market to connect and possibly do business with. Along with that, I love learning and I hope to learn from many of the experienced professionals on here. I look forward to branching out and getting to know all of you! Feel free to reach out.

@Josh Kravets Welcome to the BiggerPockets forums buddy! Man, it sounds like you have a great headstart with that sort of experience. That is just the sort of stuff I want to learn myself for where I currently live. It's all about the off market deals! I wish you luck, friend!
