Buying First Property

[AJ P.]

To introduce myself, my name is AJ and I recently graduated from Villanova University where I studied finance and real estate. I’m back in Pittsburgh where I’ve spent all but my four years of college and recently started my first job (ironically a real estate related role). I grew up exposed to real estate (from my grandfather who owned laundry mats & apartment buildings and my dad who owned a car wash and his own rental units) and I’ve been interested ever since. More recently, I’ve been acting in the role of property manager for my dad (certainly with a little bit of painter/ laborer mixed in too).

I have a true passion for the industry and I certainly intend to pursue my passion for the financial rewards, but even more so because I genuinely enjoy it and want to make a career out of it. I’ve done my due diligence on the home buying process and I have my team in place (agent, lender, and contractor). I’m just looking for general guidance/ mentorship you would give to yourself when you started real estate investing. I’m currently analyzing deals and I’m very anxious to get my first one under my belt. If you’re interested in connecting with me, please feel free to reply or message me. I greatly welcome any guidance and I truly appreciate anyone willing to give me some of their time. Thank you so much!
