New Investor in Philadelphia, PA!

[Kristy Stevko]

Hi BiggerPockets community! My name is Kristy, and I am a newly active real estate investor! I'm a member of the medical community right now, and so I tend to be a quick study and always dive into new endeavors head-first. I've been listening to the podcast for a few months and have been doing a lot of additional research, and I'm ready to dig in and get started!

I'm located in Philadelphia and primarily interested in multi-family buy and holds. Ideally, I would like to invest in Philadelphia, but I am also very familiar with the surrounding New Jersey area and would be open to this area as well. I would love to connect with other investors, even if our focuses do not align exactly. I'm looking to become a part of the community in this area!

Any advice or insight on getting started and getting that first deal would also be greatly appreciated! Thank you all for welcoming me into this community!

@Kristy Stevko Hi Kristy! Welcome to BP, you will love it! There are a bunch of meetups in the area. One coming up this October in South Jersey usually has a good turnout with a great group of investors. If you are free check it out!
