Hello Everyone, My name is Bill and I am from Philadelphia currently working in law enforcement. I am relatively new to real estate investment and currently manage 1 rental property(condo) in West Chester, PA. I purchased this property in May 2009 in part to the $8,000 tax credit. I turned this property into a rental in July 2013 when I moved back to Philadelphia and switched my career from finance to law enforcement. Right now, the rental income covers my expenses so it is not costing me anything to own and tenant is building further equity for me. My second experience in real estate has been the complete renovation of the house that we currently live in now. We received this property due to her grandmother passing away and hopefully will be a good rental property in the future. My goal is own at least 10 rental properties and buy, renovate and flip houses. After renovating our home, I loved seeing a property transform from old, outdated to completely brand new and modern. I look forward to connecting with like-minded real estate investors and furthering my real estate education. Thanks, Bill

    Welcome to BP @Bill F. I'm starting to see a connection between law enforcement & investment real estate! If you haven't already, setup some key word alerts on more specific topics/areas!
