Hi All,
I am a new real estate investor looking to invest in the Philadelphia city and suburbs. I have just got my credit in order after a few incorrect out standing bills were filled in my name. I am savings about 30% of my salary right now and studying the market with hopes of buying my first house hack in the next few months. The next step I am taking is getting pre-approved for an FHA loan so if anyone has any local lenders that they have worked with in the past please let me know. I also am looking to connect with people in the area so please reach out to me.

Matt, Congrats on taking the plunge and househacking. Something I definitely wish I would have done before I was married with kids LOL. I've worked with Vantage Point Mortgage several times. They've been awesome to work with each time. I'll send you a DM w/ their info. Good luck

@Louise Cornell Thank you! I am looking to invest in Philly (norhtwest/manayunk for a house hack) or Delco (Upper Darby, Drexel Hill). I would love to the info on what lenders you use. What areas are you investing in?
Let me start off by congratulating you on making the first step towards financial freedom! In terms of Philadelphia investing, I believe that house-hacking is a great option to start with. I actually have been working with a lot of investors that are looking in the North Philly area, so you've got a pretty solid plan in place in terms of areas to look into. I really believe that anywhere from the northern liberties to Nicetown are pretty solid investment markets as the gentrification and neighborhood improvement have been resurfacing the way we view these neighborhoods. I know of a few properties that might work for you. I'm sending you a message to further explain my investment knowledge in Philadelphia.
