Facility Manager in Harrisburg Pa

I am currently living in the Harrisburg Pa area, but I work in the Baltimore, MD area. I am looking to learn what ever I can to become a real estate investor.I have tried to do some real estate deals, but have had no success. I have worked in the construction field most of my adult life, and have done some General Contracting work in the Philadelphia area where I am originally from.

Welcome @Edward Thornton

You have come to the right place! Great first step to learning and investing.

Firstly, I want to say good job not giving up on REI when at first you were not successful. That kind of determination is what it takes to succeed in this field. Could very well be you need to broaden your knowledge base of REI.

I highly recommend BP's Ultimate Beginner's Guide, it helps to form a general foundation in the industry. Additionally listen to the BP Podcast and you will find yourself discussing REI in a much more professional manner very quickly. Also if you are a bookworm, check out the list of BP's 21 Best Real Estate Books, and start checking them off.

Between Harrisburg, Baltimore, and Philadelphia I am sure you will be able to find a suitable market for you.

Best of luck!

-James
