Newbie Investor, Living in NYC -> Looking to start in Philly

[Brian C.]

Hi Everyone!

Hope you've had a great week so far and happy Wednesday! My investment partner and I are looking to start our real estate journey and building our rental portfolio. I'm a NY-native and have lived here all my life, but understand that buying my first few properties in NYC might not make the most financial sense or return. 

I've been doing as much research as I can, listening to as many BP Podcasts and scouring the internet, and we've finally decided to focus on Philly. We'd love to land a multi-family, but are open to any good opportunities. 

We haven't narrowed down the neighborhoods we want to focus on yet - but I wanted to make an introduction and would welcome any advice or opportunity to network. Would be a cherry on top if you're currently an agent or investor in Philly OR if you have any experience at all with the Philly real estate market :) 

I do have many more details to share, but am a bit shy laying everything out here on an intro post. More than happy to share any relevant details through a PM!

Looking forward to contributing where I can and meeting any of you!
