Newly married couple looking to get started in Philadelphia

[Mike Conner]

Hello,

My wife (25) and I (29) have been living in the Philadelphia area for a few years now and we are interested in purchasing our first property.  Our current home is a tiny apartment in Cedar Park.  Fortunately, this means that an upgrade does not need to be a mansion or a dream home.

Our current plan is to find a duplex or triplex with the potential to generate a little bit of cash flow in addition to acting as our home.  We are interested in learning as much as possible about the process over the next few months and getting to know like-minded individuals or mentors through this wonderful resource.

@ Mike Conner: A good place to start is connecting with a knowledgeable local Realtor. They might be able to educate you on first time home buyers incentives or programs that could help you qualify for a home sooner than you may think.
