First Time Investor Starting out in Philadelphia !

First Time Investor Starting out in Philadelphia !

Hey guys!

I did an intro post before, but figured I'd make a more formal one now. 

Currently I am finishing my RE class to become an agent. I will gladly offer my services to you guys here, just inbox me and let me see if I can be of any assistance. 

But while I was busy studying for my state exam, I started the preliminary work getting together a pretty detailed SOW for myself. I have pinpointed a project that I would like to rehab and flip. Everything seems like it's in line and I will create a new post of that project. I will try and keep it updated as much as possible, maybe every 3-4 days. 

But for now, I just wanted to reach out again and introduce myself as an investor friendly agent, and as a fellow investor as well. 

I would love any tips from you gurus out there, and if anyone else is starting out and have a few questions let me know as well, I love seeing how everyone else is overcoming the obstacle of getting their first project started!

     Joseph: 

    Thanks for the warm welcome. Really appreciate it. And I did notice you were a loan officer, mind if I call sometime later today? I have a few questions that I need to know prior to making my first purchase. 

    And yes! I have been trying to make it out to the Dave and Buster's in Columbus Blvd but my class was scheduled on Mondays at 6. Last day of class this Monday, so I hope to make it out to the next one. I may have a review day coming up two weeks later.

    Thanks for such a motherly welcome lol! Love it. Unbelievable amount of resources in this forum, and I haven't even uncovered everything yet. I am looking forward to my license and becoming active as a sales agent. I miss selling!

    Will definitely keep you guys posted, and let me know if I can be of some assistance as an agent, would love to build healthy relationships and gain some referrals along the way if possible!

     Thanks Elizabeth! 

    I plan to stay reasonably active with my marketing, so hopefully I can get a solid strategy going so I can show you guys what my buyers will see. I would love the input from this community
