New Investor: Introduction & Strategy

[Max Busca]

Hi everyone, --

My name is Max and novice investor in the Philadelphia region (suburbs included). I've realized that when I am with friends I tend to talk about real estate related topics so often that I need to find more like-minded people (to ensure I keep all of my friends haha). 

To keep it short, I am looking to purchase a property in the next 4-6 months. I will be using the house-hacking strategy. I have decided to use an FHA (maybe 203k) loan and look for a 5+bed/3+bath property that can use some cosmetic repairs. My budget is about $375k. I am currently focused building out team and learning more from other BP members.

Outside of investing in real estate I'm a big sports enthusiast, travel junkie, & lover of pizza. Before you connect to talk sports w/ me you should know that I am a Philadelphia sports fan... so, you've been warned. 

Looking forward to interacting with y'all in this community. Let's connect.

PS. I have already bought an out of state property in Memphis Tennessee via Turnkey. I am thinking about using a 1031 exchange for this next purchase. Would like to tighten up my portfolio (closer to me personally... just for starting) and not in love with my first investment property choice.
