Jumpstart Germantown: New initiative to support investment and improve the neighborhood!!!

[Nancy L.]

NO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES ARE SOLD THROUGH THIS PROGRAM!!!!

I'm involved in an exciting new program in the neighborhood where I live and invest called Jumpstart Germantown! Here's a recent Philadelphia Magazine article about this initiative: http://www.phillymag.com/property/2015/04/20/can-n...

This is a great program for Philly area investors who are interested in the Germantown neighborhood. The initiative was started by a well known commercial investor here, Ken Weinstein of Philly Office Retail, with the idea of helping residential investors do what they do, to improve the housing stock along side the commercial corridor work.

The plan is to remove the barriers of entry for beginning and novice level investors, namely knowledge and capital. To that end, there is a mentorship program with Ken Weinstein, a Developers' Network, and a special line of credit. It is ENTIRELY FREE to get involved!

I completed an informal pilot of the mentoring program, which I found very helpful, and subsequently volunteered to coordinate the Developers' Network. I'm very excited to get started!!! I'm in the process of planning our first meeting now, and would love to see some BP'ers there!
