Good afternoon fellow BPs -

I am a recent graduate from Cornell's Johnson School (spent 6 years in financial services before that) and have moved back to Philadelphia to start an entrepreneurial venture.  I do not have any real experience in real estate (my family does and I've done some odd jobs), but I want to get my feet wet and am looking at ways to better utilize underutilized commercial property in Philadelphia.  I would love to meet anyone who is interested in this.  I am going to start by investing in a live-in multi-family (still very early in my research) to fully understand what it takes to be a real estate investor.  

I am eager to learn, meet people and get started.  

Thanks for the time - Derek

 Welcome Derek! I'm not active in commercial yet but it's definitely where we're headed in the next few years. As it happens, I currently owner occupy a MFH and can't recommend it enough. Let me know if you have any questions and I'd be glad to help you out. 

 Troy - I appreciate the response and I will definitely reach out if I have questions as I move forward. Thanks again

James, Christine and Peter - thanks for the welcome! 

I agree, the podcasts are great and this site has a lot of amazing info, and I definitely plan on putting a deal up on the site to get some feedback when I get to that point. 

Thanks again - Derek
