I know it's possible to invest with other people's money but I am working hard to build up my savings so I can buy my first property on my own.I am trying to find some good rental areas outside Plainsboro as this area is much too expensive and I haven't seen any foreclosures that would be affordable either.My interest is in Multi-family and I would like to get some good local knowledge in areas like Reading, PA, and Hummelstown, PA.
