Thank you for the welcome @Yashar E.

Thanks for the welcome @Leann Lilly and it is great to meet a fellow Philadelphian. I'll be sure to let you know what meet ups I go too.

@Michael James that's great advice. I've tried to find the type of property I'm looking for in Phoenixville, but it doesn't seem like they have any for sale so I need to go driving for $, and it's way closer to my job.  

@Shawn Ackerman thanks for the advice. I'm going to look for some in the area this weekend. Thanks again

Hey Tom, thanks for the information. I will find out and attend some of their meetings. 

@Joseph Scorese Thank you for the advice. I have definitely been looking into the Local REIA meet ups, and I think there are some coming up in the Philadelphia area that I plan on going too. About the RE license, since I prefer to be more so just on the investor side do yo think it would be beneficial(although I know it would be useful)?

@Michael James Very true. I've been looking into the Upper Darby area because it's a little closer to my job and the property taxes seem extremely higher there than everywhere else in the city I've looked at unfortunately.

Hello everyone, 

I've been listening to BiggerPockets podcast for a couple of months now, and one of their constant reminders for newbies is to introduce yourself in the new members page, so here I am.

My name is Denzel and I'm 24 years old. I was born, raised, and still located in Philadelphia. I graduated from Drexel University last June 2016, and have been working at SEI, a private trust company since October 2016. At Drexel I majored in Accounting & Finance. I'm currently working on getting my finances in order to eliminate some bad debt as well as increasing my credit score.

I have no real experience in real estate aside from learning through the podcast and some reading and my dad. What I want to learn about is how to analyze deals, how to locate funding for a property, as well as how to become an investor for passive cash flow as a side hustle. 

Since I am just beginning my investing, I'd like to start out house hacking using the BRRR strategy. I'd also like to start networking with more Philadelphia investors to get advice.

Extremely excited to hear from everyone, and network. Thanks!
