NYC Based Investor in Richmond & Philly

[Benjamin Lapidus]

Hi Friends,

I am NYC based investor with 45 units in Virginia and 1 in Denver.  I buy and hold, syndicate deals, single & multi-family.  My super powers are financial planning, financial strategy, and creative financing. I love to collaborate with those who have other super powers, like general contractors and proven guerrilla marketers. 

I'm starting to invest in Philadelphia and looking to learn as much as I can about the neighborhoods, get introduced to property managers, contractors, insurance agents, lenders, everybody.

Looking forward to connecting!

Ben

Welcome @Benjamin Lapidus I know that your time here will be well worth it.  Diversified Investors Group (DIG) is a great group in the Philadelphia area.  There are also local investors such as @?Troy S who have monthly investor meet ups. 

I will tell you Philadelphia has as had such an influx of investors over the past few years, contractors may be hard to come by.  Also, learning the neighborhoods can be a challenge since we have over 100 individuals neighborhood and within the neighborhood the housing stock and residences can vary a great deal from block to block.  I would suggest searching forums related to Philadelphia and her neighborhoods to get an idea of where folks are investing and having success.

When the time comes I know the BP family here will flood you with recos for lenders, property managers, etc. 

Reach out via my inbox if you would like to talk Philadelphia neighborhoods.  I was born and raised in Philadelphia and have lived and played in these neighborhoods all my life.  Safe to say I know the city very well.
