Hi all,

I may potentially be getting a job offer in the West Chester, PA area. I wanted to get some opinions on how the buy and hold market for multi-family properties is around that area?

Thanks for the info! One question I would have would be if my student loan debt would prevent me from getting the FHA loan? I will probably have about 20K under my name when I graduate. I just want to make sure I'll actually be able to get a loan before I go out and attempt to find a deal on a house; or if not from a bigger bank maybe from a portfolio lender?

Hi everyone, 

I am from Moon Township, PA about a half hour from Pittsburgh. I am finishing up my degree and will be graduating in the spring and I am looking to get started in investing after I graduate. 

I am planning to start working my full-time job while I'm still in school so hopefully I will have enough money for a down payment on a house by the time I graduate. I am looking to get a multi-family house with a FHA loan and rent the other unit/s out. If there are any agents in the area that work with investors or wholesalers that could help me find a good multi-family property it would be greatly appreciated! My backup option if I am unable to find a good deal on a multi-family would be to do a live-in flip on a single family house using the BRRR strategy.

My only concern about the live-in flip would be if would still be able to get the FHA loan since the house would be a fixer-upper. If anyone knows if this would work let me know!

I am very much looking forward to getting started!

@Andrew Lacy I'm currently in Moon Township as well! I go to RMU right now I'll be finishing up this year and if I stick around here after school I'm definitely going to start investing. Pittsburgh seems to be a great market for buy and hold.
