Motivated beginner buy and hold investor Warrington, Pa
My name is Branden Ellenberger from Warrington, PA. I'm a structural engineer by profession committed to finding my first rental property. I've been interested in pursuing Rei since my first home in 2004. I recently joined as a bigger pockets PRO in a proactive measure to make my dreams come true and start down the path to financial freedom. I have been a DIY homowner on my 2 previous fixer upper properties as well as my current one. I am very interested in the BRRR method but I would be happy with a good buy and longterm hold. I'm looking for the best way to find a good deal(s) in my area and would be interested in meeting and discussing with anyone the best way to aquire a property. I'm a motivated individual who follows through and I want to establish the best Avenue for finding my properties so I can discuss my plan with my proposed investor. I am also interested is building connections in the industry to aid in my future ventures. I'm not well versed to forums so bear with me as I try and keep up. Thanks in advance to anyone who reaches out!

Hi Branden,
I'm from Ambler, PA and wanted to say hello since you're so close by. I'm relatively new as well, looking to do mostly buy and hold, but not averse to flipping. Like you, I'm reading and learning. Thinking about joining a local REIA as well. I don't have a lot of advice to offer since I'm learning myself, but wanted to say welcome and wish you all the best!
