New Investor in Gettysburg PA
Greeting to the BP community
My name is Jackie Lin. I have been investing in real estate for 8 years now. I feel like I have done so little compared to the guests on the BiggerPockets podcast. Lol. But I guess I am just slow and steady.
I got into real estate while in college when I was introduced to the rich dad poor dad series, so during my last year of college I bought a four residential rental unit with one store front building, which I planned to have a restaurant in and rent the four units out to pay for all of the expenses related to the property. So I guess I was sort of hacking the building for my restaurant.
From my first unit and the income from my business, I have been able to acquire and payoff four more SFR, one duplex and one commercial unit.
I am now in a comfortable area where I have the ability to acquire more doors.
I am planning for the long haul, I am focus on buy and hold rental units in the south central Pennsylvania but is open minded to expand my horizon. I am not biased against any type of real estate as long as I can get a good deal on it and have a good ROI.
I am here to introduce myself to this great community. I have been silent for the last three months learning from all of the experts here. This is the best place to gain a plethora knowledge of real estate.
If there is anyone here that would like to connect and talk about anything, let’s connect and learn from each other and grow together!

Thank you @Travis Wylie and @Charles McCabe for the warm welcome. I am definitely interested in expanding my area at a comfortable pace. I actually graduated from Gettysburg College and is an alum at one of the the fraternity house, so I know how things could get out of control if the proper screening is not performed.
So yeah, if you guys have anything deals that needs that extra push, let me know I will be more than happy to work with you guys.
BTW, Sorry for the late reply, as you may have seen from my profile, I am also a REA and was busy last couple of days, getting deals together.
Hope we can connect and work together in the future!
