New investor from Pittsburgh, PA

[Daniel Winschel]

Hey all, my name is Dan Winschel.  Glad to find this helpful and supportive community with it's wealth of information.  Im still in a research phase trying to wrap my mind around how to find the right deal for my situation, but I'm very driven to begin this journey.  I've been listening to BiggerPockets podcasts for hours a day and reading books on real estate with a focus on long term rental properties.  I want to employ a combination of the house hacking and Brrrr strategy.

I've been searching daily for good deals on multi-family properties in the south hills of Pittsburgh.  I've saved enough for a decent down payment on a medium priced property and i'm in contact with a couple agents and money lender.  I'll probably need all the contacts i can get in the way of trustworthy contractors, other members of my "team", etc...

I'm currently an RN at a local hospital, but my goal is to one day be able to support myself through long term rentals.  Cant wait to network and make big things happen in the future!
