Hello All!
My name is Jon Behlke and I am an accountant by trade who has found himself in a real estate dealing with my in-laws.
My father-in-law has been a lower income landlord for 40+ years in Uniontown, PA and surrounding vicinity. So when I found a house for sale about 3 miles from my family home at a dirt cheap price, I got to thinking, maybe I could fix this thing up and rent it out. Long story short, my father-in-law went with me to check out the house, and when we left he said, "we're buying this house." So he's purchased the house, and I am going to have some as yet determined stake in this property along with my 2 brothers-in-law.
Thought I'd join after reading many great posts and articles here, so that I may take the equity from this project (which is now turning into a flip) and start down the road of real estate investing.
Nice to see someone on here from my area. I'm I'm Greene County. I am also a beginner trying to get into real estate. I will be following along with this thread, congrats on getting started!
