New Investor in Philadelphia
Hello! My name is Laura and I am a new, new investor in the Philadelphia area looking to house hack my first investment property =). It will be a complete rehab using a 203K loan and I am beyond excited to start this journey. I am currently negotiating my first deal so I would like to start working with an architect and interviewing general contractors who are able to work with a 203K loan. I have been listening to BiggerPocket podcasts religiously for the past 5 months so decided it's time to join the online family and hopefully build a trusting, rewarding team.
If anyone has any referrals for architects and contractors please let me know.
