New Philadelphia Investor
Hi everyone!
Ok, so I picked a crazy time to get into real estate.
I'm a new investor in the Philadelphia area, at the tail-end of my first flip in South Philly (and it has been An Experience™). I'm with the Free Library and my background is mostly in multimedia design and education, but I stumbled into real estate on the side two years ago. Since then, I've been loving it! I'm also a big fan of the BP podcast and a member of our local REIA.
My goal is to eventually get into rentals and work toward community-oriented real estate development. Being a longtime resident of the city, I've seen it change in a lot of great ways and in a lot of unfortunate ways. Currently finding the balance between designing unique rehabs that preserve the rich neighborhood culture and... actually getting houses sold.
Looking forward to meeting more of you and being part of the community!

@Jovan Ellis congrats on your first flip! I love South Philly, it's a great area. I've been investing in Philly as a remote investor for the past 2 years by accruing buy and holds (if I close on the next two I have under contract I'll be at 15 units). If you ever have any questions about rentals in Phillly I'd be happy to answer them!
