I’m very impressed with your accolades and just put your book in my Amazon shopping cart. If someone like you is saying to look up there then it definitely deserves some thought! If you’d like to discuss this further, feel free to shoot me a message or let me know and I’ll send you one. I’m sure you have a whole operation going on but if you have room somewhere to guide a couple of rookies in your area in return for however we can assist you or even jumping in our deal as well, everything is on the table on my end! 

@Mélida Maldonado-Pérez

Awesome, thank you for the info and best of luck to you guys as well! 

@Lana Lee

Yes I'm fine with a SFH as well, I'm just trying to start small. Philadelphia has been looking good to me, it's a great city and I go often so for REI to work there too that's pretty cool to me. In the Lehigh Valley area Bethlehem is very interesting to me as well. The problem is there's so many little towns and cities that when I'm looking at some properties in Bethlehem, one will pop up in a neighboring little town so it makes me think okay, I wouldn't mind this area either let me look it up. So many places, but those two are my favorites.

@Dave Godfrey Thanks for reaching out! Philly and it’s suburbs sounds good to me, I’m only an hour and ten minutes away. As far as what we’re looking for, a single or multi family residential home around $100k (a little more or less is fine) with traditional financing. All 3 of us have great jobs and great credit so securing a mortgage shouldn’t be a problem. Like it’s always said on the podcast and forums, I don’t need this first deal to be a homerun, I just need it for the main purpose of getting in the trenches and getting experience for the next 100 deals! A little cash flow would be great too :) Let me know if this sounds good and if you think we can get moving! 

Hey everyone! I'm Joseph Ranola, Police Officer, Real Estate Agent and aspiring Real Estate Investor from Staten Island, NY. I've been here for a little while but have never made an introduction, and I'm still extremely new at all this anyway. I'm interested in buying rental properties (single family or a multi-family on the lower end of the price scale) in PA, most likely Philadelphia, Reading and Lehigh Valley- although I'm very open to other areas as I'm still trying to figure out if those are good to begin with. Would love to connect with a fellow realtor in a great area and start looking at stuff, I want to get my feet wet ASAP! It's myself, my brother and best friend and we don't have that much between us but we're looking to be creative and get our first property and grow from there. Whether you're a realtor that can help us find properties, an investor that wants to work together to get us started in return for whatever we can possibly do for you, or even someone active whom we can help and follow around to learn some stuff firsthand, please reach out! Thanks guys!

Thank you very much!

@Yuriy Skripnichenko Thank you for doing this. I’d like to see Camden County when you get a chance. Thank you!
