Newbie from PA
Hi all,
Newbie here from Harrisburg, PA. My co-worker just bought his first rental property and is a lurker on BP. We both listen to the podcasts and are constantly comparing notes.
I wouldn't mind having some passive income as well, but that's not my primary goal.
What I really want is a vacation cabin and to do the vacation rental thing to make the cabin pay for itself.
There are times where I question if that is the smartest plan, or if I would be smarter to do local rentals and/or flips and just utilize the cash flow to rent whatever vacation cabin I would want to use.....
I'm hoping to utilize BP to learn... and take action.
Thanks!

@Robert Mulfinger welcome to the site. There is a real estate meet up first Thursday of the month (6pm) in camp hill at the giant. I would strongly recommend you at least attend 1 if not more local meet ups. Feel free to pm for more info on the local groups.
