Hey man! Im a local agent and investor, feel free to reach out if you want to crunch some numbers together or get a second set of eyes on anything

Hey Jack!  I'm an agent and investor. While the majority of my investments are in Philadelphia, I am a lifelong resident of Bucks County and am very familiar with the areas mentioned.  I'll briefly answer the points that you mentioned-  I say briefly because it is so, so easy to get caught in the weeds with the vast amount of data you can gather, and your goal is to get out of analysis paralysis, not deeper into its grasp.  

1.  To me, what is unique about Willow Grove, Horsham, Hatboro, etc is that as more and more young professionals in their mid 20s to early 30s are getting priced out of Newtown, Langhorne etc and are starting to look more into those areas as they tend to be more affordable in comparison.  So I believe home prices will continue to rise in those areas and they will become more desirable to renters, and higher priced rentals as the population there is able to afford the higher rents.  

2. Make sure you have enough money in reserves.  After any purchase, things will come up that you didn't anticipate and there is nothing worse than a looming repair that you can't afford.  Also in the same vein, make sure your not buying something over your head.  I would never recommenf a full reno etc to someone just starting

3. Interview multiple property managers and get many recommendations before choosing a property manager.  

4. Sounds like cliche, obvious advice, but the only way to get used to the water is to jump in.  Talk to a loan officer and get a pre approval.  Start going to showings.  Put some offers in.  You can read the playbook a million times but you won't really get it until you start playing the game.  

Anyway, hope some of this was helpful.  Feel free to connect and reach out if you have any questions !  

Hey Joseph! I'm an agent and investor in Bucks County, a suburb a little outside of northeast Philadelphia.  I would love to talk about yoour goals and see if I could help out at all -  I will say it can be difficult to find investment properties that cashflow in my neck of the woods, especially in that price range, but the appreciation is fairly unparalleled.
