New from Pittsburgh, PA
Hi everyone! I'm Jay. I had a friend that is doing very well for himself in the area that owns 28 single family homes. He manages and does all his own repairs. That got me thing about starting in real estate. I soon started reading a lot and found my way here as well as the podcast. Fortunately I have been able to score a deal on a 7 unit in Pittsburgh and am looking to continue growing multis and trying a single reno/flip maybe.
I have two kids, love driving race cars (road racing), own a couple small businesses and am born and raised Pittsburgh! Let me know if you have any questions about the area because we have stabilized our population and it looks like some tech industry players are bringing some new jobs and growth to our market!
