Philly Networking & Fishtown

[Austin Mullen]

Good morning, 

I just moved to Philadelphia in August and am looking to network/connect with any Investors in the area. Is there a local meetup? 

I am currently renting in Fishtown, but am looking to purchase in Fishtown, Northern Liberties, or Port Richmond within the next six months (most likely trying to househack, so live in one room and rent out the other 2/3 rooms). If anyone has expertise in these areas, or just lives around here, I would love to connect and be very thankful for the time and wisdom. 

All the best!

Austin

@Austin Mullen welcome to the game! Those neighborhoods are going to be tough, if you want to be in those pockets, expect to pay up to beat your competition. If you’re willing to live “on the fringe” of your already gentrified areas as a means to an end in places like west Kensington (borders of fishtown), Cobbs creek (borders of U-city) , or 19134 on the “not as happy side” of Aramingo (the NW side) you’ll likely be able to cashflow better and see a larger increase in property value since those areas are on the path of progress. If you’re dead set on those neighborhoods, I would look at retail agents who representing buyers who are picking up Multis in those areas
