Pittsburgh PA: Willing to Learn

[Darien Terrell]

Hi BP Community!

I am new to the site but have been listening to the Bigger Pockets Podcast and researching to familiarize myself with what it takes to enter this space. I have gotten to the point where I would like to find someone local to assist in the development of my real estate career. 

I have a partner who lives in Chicago that is finding a mentor as well. We are both former division 1 student athletes and earned our MBA following our senior season. 

I am currently living in Pittsburgh, PA working in the electrical distribution industry. I am currently renting an apartment and have made the decision to purchase my first property when my lease has ended. I will have a roommate who will pay rent towards the mortgage and has hopes of purchasing the property if I move out.  I am looking at single family homes that are located in between Robinson, Downtown, and Canonsburg. 

Any advice or responses would be greatly appreciated! if you would like to chat personally, don't hesitate to shoot me a message. 

Thanks!

Advice would be start networking with people that do what you would like to get started doing. Offer to help them to learn and keep moving. 

There's a lot of hurdles that you run into from time to time and talking to people that are where you want to be helps keeping you push forward!

The next piece of advice is just to get started. House hacking would be a good low barrier to entry way to do that. If you ever need anything don't hesitate to reach out to the community here! Best place to learn outside of the in person meetups.
