Nicki in Philadelphia

[Nicole Brown]

Hi, I'm in Philadelphia now, but originally from Jamaica. I've been on the site and listened to the Bigger Pockets podcasts for a while now.

I want to pursue FI through buy-and-hold rentals. I'm looking for a small multifamily in the area to live in one unit as an owner-occupant and rent out the rest of the property.

Any suggestions and advice will be very welcome.

Hi @Nicole Brown !

I would start by reaching out to an agent (perhaps go to your local REIA and ask for suggestions) and ask them to send you multi-family listings.

Also, make sure to brush up on your deal analysis, so you can jump on a good deal when it comes along.
