Newbie Investor in Philadelphia

Hey there BP community, Martin Graf here. I was born and raised in South Jersey in the Cherry Hill area, and I now currently reside in Philly. My educational background is in Computer Science and since completing my degree, I've been working full time as a Web Developer. I've always had an interest in REI and I'm finally taking the steps to begin my investing journey.

I've been a BP member for close to two months now and have been excitedly reading and consuming as much of the content the site has to offer. I've found the weekly webinars, forum posts, and of course the BP podcast to be extremely helpful in getting up to speed on REI analysis and strategy.

The main goal I’m pursuing this year is completing my first deal and closing on a MFH in Philadelphia that provides good cash flow. I plan on utilizing an owner occupy strategy while learning the ropes at being a landlord.

I am looking forward to further learning and growing within this awesome community!

@Gerardo Dominguez Thanks! I actually just recently went to a local REIA meetup for the first time and found it to be very valuable.
