Thankful member from western Pa

[Randy Donatelli]

So let me start by saying I have been a member for a little while but haven't gotten a chance to become engaged in the forums. So i feel as if i should introduce myself properly, my name is Randy Donatelli and I am in a little town north of Pittsburgh, PA. I bought my first SFH as a rental last summer and it was great, I found it when i was going for a walk in my neighborhood. I looked at it the next day and offered 10k less than the asking price and bought it at that. I had $700 in repairs and about 80 man hours in cleaning, I had so much interest in the property that I took the listing off of cl and took the sign down in the door. Needless to say it was rented in about a week and I just signed a new 1 year agreement with the same tenant.

I drive a lot for work, and over the winter I got tired of listening to the radio so I decided to listen to some podcasts mainly about real estate.  Insert bigger pockets to my life, wow i could not believe the information that you get for free.  I was instantly hooked listening to an episode or two every day.  I absolutely love to hear everyone's story and it has given me so much information and just reassures me that I am on the right path.  So from listening to BP I broadened my search range, bought a duplex a town away using owner financing, refinanced my house to get a line of credit that I just used to buy my first total rehab.

So really BP has helped me buy my last 2 properties and really gotten me excited about real estate and i just want to give an official thank you to Josh and Brandon and all of the members for their stories.
