New Investor from Philly [eager to learn!]

[Matt James]

Im a graduate from Temple University and I currently reside in NE philly. I have a fulltime gig w/ a bank in Center City area making 60k. i have no debt [paid off school loans] and a credit score of 750. currently, I do not own any RE. I am looking to start investing in the Temple University area b/c there is a major shortage of student housing. Plus there has been much development in that area and it borders w/ lower kensington & Northern Liberties which are all areas that are booming right now. I've been looking @ that area for over a year and i've watched prices quadruple w/out making a single move. I need assistance on finding the right deal and taking action. I feel that if i'm any more complacement all the opportunities will soon run out. Please advise
