I'm on the hunt for networking events in NYC specifically geared towards commercial real estate professionals. Have any tips? Whether it's a conference, seminar, or meetup tailored for folks like us, I'm eager to hear about it! Share your insights and let's elevate our commercial real estate endeavors in the Big Apple!

Furthermore, I'm enthusiastic about connecting and meeting individuals who share similar interests and reside in NYC.

Thank you!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Barak, and I am new to real estate investing in PA. I Did my research and decided to invest in Harrisburg.

My plan is to start out by purchasing SFHs, in a C class (and above) areas with a budget of 150K(All in),

Can anyone provide some tips for me?

Any special or unusual RE rules that I should be aware of at PA?

What are the best neighborhoods to invest in for buy&hold?

What are the worst (high crime areas)that I should stay away from ?

I would love to connect with agents and wholesalers that work with investors.

Thank you for your help.

@Barak Yakobovich Columbus is a great place to invest and you'll find no shortage of Realtors ready to tell you that. But just a little reality check for you. Columbus is ultra competitive right now. Wholesalers who are having steady success are spending a LOT of money each and every month on marketing. They have teams of people working deals 7 days a week. This isn't to discourage you, but know what you're up against. You're going to have a lot of competition.

Next, it's not going to be easy to find deals in C neighborhoods for $120k. Most of what you see at that price range is in Linden or Hilltop, and those are D class neighborhoods. I'm broad brushing it a bit but those are also high crime areas that I have always avoided. There are C class neighborhoods in 43232 and 43207, but it's going to be tough to find anything at the price range you indicated. If you can bump your price range up to $150k you'll have more options in better areas.

Thank you for your honest answer, Matt. Could you tell me who are the top wholesalers in Columbus? If I were to increase my budget to 150-170, what zip codes/areas would you suggest I look at for buy-and-hold investments?

I can send you some wholesaler referrals in Columbus, Ohio.

Yes, I would like to, it will be helpful for me

Welcome to the Columbus market! I personally like following the big developments in town and riding the wave. We have 14 units under construction in town and still moving. Open to connecting and talking more.

Thank you Austin, I wish you the best of luck with your project, I would like to connect and talk.

I agree with @Austin McClain that at your price point I would look into the Linden and Hilltop neighborhoods in Columbus. In addition, there are other markets in Ohio that cashflow and have a lower entry point such as Toledo and Dayton.

Thank you Anthony for your response, what zip codes would you suggest I look at in Dayton?
