Hello, 

I have been procrastinating and finding all kind of excuse to not get started. 4 years later I am unable ( or unwilling) to stick to one strategy. I have seen money pass and wasted that could have been growing right now. I have some money saved for a downpayment on a property. I have decided to start with small family ( 2-4 units). I live in the philadelphia area. I am looking for an investor friendly agent that could help me start in the east coast ( PA, NJ, MD, DE) within 1.5 hour drive from Philly. I am through with analysis. I need to start right now. Please help.

    Focus on the strengths you have, with one of those strengths being that you live and want to invest in Philadelphia. Use that to your advantage by knowing your specific area better than 99% of other investors. Also let friends/family/neighbors know you are looking for a property to help source deals. Even if you wont buy that property you could always find the end buyer and make some money along the way.
