Newbie in Pittsburgh - Just finished our 1st flip

[Neil Metzger]

I am a DC native in Pittsburgh, decided a few months ago to finally jump in and try a house flip. I had run a property management company in Western PA for about a year and had gotten to know the basics of the rental business, and more importantly, met some very skilled tradesmen.  We bought a vacant property, completely renovated it, and are now waiting on what will hopefully be a quick offer. 

I am very interested in learning about strategies to buy, renovate, refinance, and rent properties long term. Flips are great, but building a portfolio of rental properties is more appealing to me from a long term financial standpoint. 

I am hoping to collaborate and learn as much as I can on this forum. I have a great crew of guys waiting on the next project, and there are quite a few opportunities in P'burgh to buy wholesale properties to renovate and rent.
