Update: Planning road trip

Marvin Michel
Posted

Hello,

This is an update to my previous post on https://www.biggerpockets.com/.... I've decided to hit the road and hit 13 cities in the span of 34 days. I will be visiting Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburg, Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Lansing, Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland and finally Allentown basically making a circle through the eastern Midwest. I'll be spending 3 nights in the larger cities and 2 nights in the smaller ones. My trip is essentially a vacation, but other than enjoying the unique touristy things each city has to offer, I really want to use the bulk of my time to explore markets and dip my toe in the water of investing, exploring different neighborhoods, looking at properties, talking to agents, investors, and whomever else can provide valuable insight on what I'd be venturing into when I'm eventually ready to buy.

My intention with this post isn't really to turn this into a sort of journal with periodic updates, but mostly I was hoping that this post, and perhaps others in the future, could help me connect with some of you more experienced folks out there who may be willing to lend a helpful hand in anything at all real estate related. If you live, or do business in, or know people in any of the above mentioned cities, I would love to just get to pick your brains about what these markets are like and to help a newbie investor get his bearings straight for when I finally pull the trigger. 

Feel free to ask me anything and shoot me messages! Looking forward to meeting whomever I can wherever I can!

Marvin

@Marvin Michel - when you visit Toledo we’d love to show you our office, property management operation, and cruise some of the wiser neighborhoods to invest in!
