Drew Vukov and Florian N. Sorry if the formatting if my reply is horrible. I'm replying with my phone.

Drew Vukov yea that's what I was thinking. I was even thinking about going by the university and maybe getting a 6-unit but I feel that may be pushing it because the students there are pretty reckless. Florian N. Yea you're probably right. We'll see when the time comes. I'm looking inside and outside of the Scranton area. Anything that's max around 30 mins from the Scranton area. I'll still be a full time student for another semester and I'll be working full time so I don't want to dedicate too much time to traveling to and from my property. Any locations you know would be a good spot to start?

Anyone in the northeast PA region available to give me starting out advice? I will begin REI in the summer of 2016 and would like some advice on buying around my area. I want to start with a 4plex. Should I instead start with a duplex? You can assume I have the funds to buy either. I just want to make sure I'm not going too deep too quickly. I do have a full time job but I also have a partner so time isn't too much of a problem. Any advice as to where to begin buying around my area as well? I live in Scranton, PA thanks in advance.

Hello, my name is Chris Polanco and I'm currently a full-time Graduate student at the University of Scranton getting my Masters in Software Engineering. I'm also a full-time programmer at Valor Credit Union.

I am currently saving up and hope to begin my journey summer of next year with my brother-in-law. I decided to join Bigger Pockets after googling around trying to learn about real estate. Any question i googled usually lead me to this website. I want to gather as much knowledge as I can as well as network as much as I during this year of preparation.
