Hello! New to Pennsylvania, new to REI, new to Bigger Pockets

[Van Tran]

Hi everyone,

My partner and I recently moved from California to Pennsylvania. We got tired of the high cost of living and I knew it would be very difficult for me to buy investment properties there. I also didn't want to be around for when the BIG one hit.

I've always had an interest in taking advantage of the passive income that we can get from rental properties. But just recently I came across the BP podcasts and forums and now I'm completely addicted and am excited to get started! I have learned so much about house hacking, how to use little money down and most importantly, I feel comfortable jumping in. 

Our only experience in real estate so far has been that we purchased and sold our primary home in the SF Bay Area. We're temporarily living in Reading, PA, while we look for a place to stay around Philadelphia. 

I'm really interested in starting out with a small multifamily property while living in one unit. 

See you in the forums!
