Hi All, 

I've got two investment properties and looking for more. I'm continuing my education on how to scale as quickly as possible. So happy to be here with all of you! I am based in NJ and am investing in Lehigh Valley, PA.

Quote from @Chris McDonnell:

Hi Tatum!

I am open to all markets as remote investing makes a lot of practical sense to me. 

While I am operating with a "sky is the limit" approach in terms of what to scale to, I like the idea of graduating to 2 properties a year if possible. First property was purchased July of '21 and second in Oct. of '22. 

Taking a page out of my father's book I am a "buy and hold" investor. Currently I've been focused on Lehigh Valley in PA but am open to all markets!


I like that you're open to it all, don't limit yourself. It seems like you have some great momentum started and can absolutely get to 2 properties a year with the right plan. 

I totally agree with the "buy and hold" idea, the "get rich quick" is appealing but as I'm sure you know this is a long play arena. Good for you to focus on what you know in PA, but great to continue to grow in other markets.

I may be a bit biased (though I really think it's true) but Texas is a great place to invest with many different markets for any kind of investing you want to do. I'd be happy to talk with you more. 

Glad you introduced yourself here on the forums!
