House Hacking in Philadelphia

[John Whitridge]

Hi Bigger Pockets, 

I am looking to start my Real Estate Investing career by purchasing a Multi-family building in the Philadelphia area but all of the properties I have looked into are either out of my price range or are not cash flowing enough to justify the purchase price.  Is this a sign that this is not a good time to buy and I should wait until prices drop or am I looking in the wrong places for deals?

If anyone is in the greater Philadelphia and has experience House Hacking I would love to go to lunch and discuss options on how to begin Real Estate Investing.

Thanks, 

John Whitridge
