@Matt Dixon @Chaz Mathias @Tracey G. thank you guys so much! 

@Glenn McCrorey thank you so much, Glenn! I’ll definitely check that out!

@Matt Dixon thanks Matt for the welcome! Do you only own rentals in PA? If not, Do you find it difficult to keep straight rental rules/regulations in PA vs. in DE? Thanks!

@Tracey Geary what a good point about all those new construction apartments in Newark going up! Have you found success with renting to college students or found them to be more of a headache than the usual tenant?

Thanks @Taylor Beal! 

@John Knisely nice to hear from a fellow engineer, thanks for the welcome!!

@Ned Carey thanks, I hadn’t noticed that!

@Rich O'Neill thanks for the help, I really appreciate the input! As someone very new to real estate, it's great to hear from investors who have some experience in the local market.

I'll have to look more into rental possibilities in the Hockessin area, obviously that would be the ideal location for me, I just have always suspected for the most part people look to Wilmington or Newark when they want to rent to be closer to the city amenities rather than in the suburbs. However, it's a great place to be for families! Thanks for the tip!

@Brendan Markle, @Cassandra Sifford, thank you for the welcome!

@Rich O'Neill, @James Masotti thank you for the advice! I live in Hockessin, DE currently, so not too far away from Wilmington, DE where I work (about 30 minutes). As I mentioned, I am a recent college grad, so I do currently live at home with my parents and like Rich, I think this would be a great opportunity to jump into real estate, as I'm not currently paying to live anywhere as it is. I will definitely check out some of the areas you two have suggested! Although Delaware is small, I'm not too familiar with Claymont, so I will need to start looking into the area, but Newark seems like a great market as it is a college town that keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Thanks all!!

@Aaron Klatt That’s good advice Aaron, thank you!
