Good afternoon BiggerPockets.com Members,

Hi, I'm Kathryn new to Real Estate Investing looking to purchase my first Multi-Family Property soon.  Former NYC'er and new to the Easton area, Looking for my plan towards financial independence.   I am just in the early stages of getting my feet wet with my first purchase. I would like to start with a multi-family building in the Easton area (4-8 units without too much renovation. I appreciate any suggestions, leads, tools that you might offer.  I look forward to seeing you here and hearing about your progress, challenges and successes. 

Also, if there are any Real Estate Clubs in the area, contact information for them would be greatly appreciated.  

Please feel free to reach out and thank you in advance for your kind help and co-operation.

Ciao, Kathryn

Hi Kathryn. I am a local investor , about 8 years and 4 doors in (Small  guy around here lol) I am also an agent . If I can help in any way let me know. I was  Born and raised in the Lehigh Valley and know the area and Market pretty well. 

As an agent I stay in my "lane"  Always refer to a professional in whichever field is necessary. Law, Roofers, Plumbers, HVAC etc

The sooner you give notice the better. That way if they do not vacate and you have to evict the process is already moving along. 

Hi. What is your management plan? Self manage or have a company manage your property?  I grew up here and the Lehigh Valley is booming . Don't be afraid to look on the outskirts of the major cities. I have some clients and friends who are having luck in the outer bands of the Valley. Let me know if you want to chat any further. 

Check out Empire Property Management!

The market is real tight in the Easton area and prices have really risen over the last few years. Not to mention the crazy covid market with low inventory. I am a local investor and realtor . If I can help anyone in anyway please dont hesitate to send me a pm

Hi Bryan- yes I have a few quick questions, please.

1- is hard it to find quality tenants?

2- where are you advertising

3- do you use a property mgr?

I’ve had rentals for ages but only SF and condos. Last year upgraded to a 6 unit but a more affluent area. Pburg prices are attractive but looks like it’s going to take a while to turn around still it could be a good time to jump in. We’ll see. Tks Bryan

Hi, I currently have inherited tenants in all my units in Phillipsburg, I was using cozy for my rent collection and listings, I have since switched to Tenantcloud which also seems to have listing capabilties. I am self managing currently. I have worked in the Phillipsburg area for almost 15 years so i know the area and the good and bad . Town council passed a rent control bill at the end of last year but the mayor vetoed it which made things interesting. New mayor seems to want to clean up the town which is good!

I own a few properties in Phillipsburg(1 mf and 1 sf) and also in Pa. Give me shout if you have any specific questions and i'll try to help out
