Newbie Investor looking to start a path to FI

[Matthew Carfaro]

Hi everyone! I am a recent college graduate who is looking get started in real estate investing. I recently moved to the Philadelphia area for my first job and am looking to purchase a multifamily investment property to house hack in.  I am an extreme fan of both BP podcasts and have been listening for several years now. I would love to meet some investors in the Philadelphia area and gain some knowledge on how this market runs.

Also if any investors have some multifamily or single family homes in the Manayunk area I would love to talk about those properties!

Thank you for reading and any imput. I am very excited to start being more active on the BP forums

Hi Matt,

Give me a call to discuss further but I too am a real estate agent and own 3 rental properties in Roxborough / Manayunk area. I work for BHHS out of our Chestnut Hill office and am also an investor and private money lender so I know what you are going to be looking for. I recently helped out a young guy in your same situation and we were able to find him a quadruplex in East Falls that he purchased where he will live in one unit and rent the other 3 as well as a home for him to flip in Mt. Airy simultaneously. We also found favorable private lending to help him make both of these transactions work quickly and easily. You can find me online by googling my name. Mark Malfara, Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Fox & Roach realtors.

I can also connect you with the other guy that I recently helped so you can chat with him about his experience. I'm available all day to chat.
