Thank you very much for the insight.  Currently pounding the pavement creating leads.  I have been relying on friends and relatives as my buyers on my first deals.  

Im looking for ideas on ways to grow my current cash buyers list.  I have been attending philadelphia and greater philadelphia (bucks, montgomery, chester, and berks county) area reia meetings.  I have also been using meetup.com and attending some of their get togethers.  Any insight on other ideas for networking would be greatly appreciated. 

i am new to land investing and have found a parcel of land that i am undecided on.  The area is close within 2 miles of my home town Which i currently live.  The area is a rural area in that is slowly but surely being developed.  The parcel that is mentioned is 8 acres and located aside a new development that has Been completed.  The asking price is 10k. With an annual tax of $112.  The only problem i have run into is that the land was previously zoned residential bit now is zoned open space.  I would greatly appreciate anybodys insight on this matter or previous experience on open space zoned land.

hi everyone. Im new to bp and have already found a wealth of information on here. I have been interested in the reading,pa market for some time now and would like some insight on my current dilemma. I am from pottstown and spend a lot of time in the city of reading so i know the city well.  Everything i have read says to stay away from some of the less desireable areas of the city but i was figuring it cant be as big a nightmare as everyone states.  I have run into a property on the south side of reading off of cotton st.  I have friends that live two blocks away so i know the reputation but the property is a 5br 1bath for 17k which has been newly rehabbed and the owner needs to free up some money.  It would be a cash deal and this would be my first property. I figured with the price and condition of the house along with the instant equity it would put me in a start to real estate investing. Any insight would be greatly appreciated before i pull the trigger on the deal.
