Philadelphia First Buy/Hold ~130k
Hey bigger pockets!
Pretty excited and also nervous. I put together my finances and have been talking to a loan officer at Quicken Loans, looks like I'll be able to afford around a 130k property with an FHA.
I'm looking in the Philadelphia area, preferably south Philly that has rehab potentials but not completely gutted/full rehab.
It's going to be a buy live (other room rentals).
Multi family properties a little out of the budget for the areas I'm looking at (also up an coming areas).
Just throwing that out there to see who's out there!
I'm a new investor, originally from Delaware. I'm planning on purchasing my first property this year to use as a house to live and also rent.
I'm looking to connect with likeminded people in the area and possibly a mentor to show me the ropes!
Thanks for the time and look forward to hearing from y'all!

Hey Allen! I'm a real estate agent who operates in Philadelphia and Bucks County. Let me know if you would like my help in searching for a property. I have a duplex in Frankford, and personally live in the city so I know the area well.
