Newbie from Philadephia, PA

Hi all, 

I'm new to REI and looking to start off by househacking my first property. I have lived in Philadelphia my whole life and plan to invest here. I graduated with a degree in business, but recently switched into tech as a Front End Developer. I came across bigger pockets when I met a friend househacking in college and decided to do a Google search about REI. At the moment, I am getting an MLS feed through a realtor that helped my family with the last several homes and I will start evaluating properties with a very basic spreadsheet calculator I created. I would like to continue networking with other investors and perhaps even find a mentor. I am always looking to meet new people, learn, and teach, so let's connect!

Best,

Jon

@Eleena de Lisser Thank you for providing resources. Do you have to be a member in order to go to their meetups? 

My experience recently is some meetings are open to visitors all the time, some are open to members with visitors being allowed 1 visit before they need to become a member.

You can contact the group host if the policy is not clear.
