Hello everyone! My name is Dan Jacob, I'm a 21 year old Business student who has recently grown an interest in real estate. I live in Philadelphia and I'm really interested in making my name in the city's booming real estate market. I currently have an idea about flipping old/outdated offices and providing them them to the current wave of startups and new business starts. If any one has any advice or answers to some of the questions below, I would strongly appreciate it. Thank you!

Where do I start?

What kind of people should I talk to?

Has this strategy worked before?

Is this cost effective?

Hi @Dan Jacob Welcome to BP!

You are starting at a great spot, Bigger Pockets is a wealth of info and has a great community of investors, realtors, wholesalers, flippers, and more all from the Philly area. 

An important place to start is gathering as much info as you can, and finding a neighborhood where you see potential.
