NEWBIE from SF Bay Area looking to get started outside of CA

[Brandon Cristiano]

Hey everyone! I'm just getting started in my RE journey. I currently live in the Bay so RE is way too expensive to invest in at this time. I'm originally from Pittsburgh, PA and still have family in the area. Ideally I would be looking to get started in Pittsburgh so I have some people to watch over my properties. I'm looking to get into multi-family with a strategy to buy & hold. Target neighborhoods would be surrounding the colleges and where tech companies are beginning to build in. 

If you're in the Bay area or Pittsburgh I'd love to connect and discuss more. Looking forward to building new connections!
