Glad to hear your family knew when to get out of a bad deal and cut their losses.
Hope it was prior to 89 - with Chernobyl and all.

We got out early too, right after the meltdown, so i likely have a faint glow to me.
I grew up here in Philly and my English is far better then my Russian but I am fine conversationally. Just don't ask me to write anything down.

I still enjoy the occasional Ukrainian food oddity though that would throw most for a loop. So I am a bit of 2 worlds in some ways. Never hurts to know another language or culture, considering  the number of soviet ex-pats here in Philly and NYC. Never know who is on the other side of a good deal. 

Stitcher works very well and great point made about free audio streaming on t-mobile.  Also video streaming is also free on t-mobile so the video podcast that i think was mentioned a few shows back is also gonna be a great addition. 

 Thank you 

Yep noticed REIA groups on meetup last night, when I thought to look. Though a few seem not to be too active. Posts from 2014 being the latest. Will check out the active ones, definitely...

Greetings

Philadelphia native, originally from Ukraine,  that discovered this community via the podcast, joined up because I enjoyed the approach advocated. No 6 month programs, gurus, tuition and scams. Rather, education though books, networking though forums and learning from and becoming mentors to others in your market. 

The community seems to provide a certain economies of scale to those involved with respect to learning most elements of real estate . Users provide de facto value to one another.  So, I figured why not join?

Currently I have house to rehab and flip and multifamily to rehab and rent.
My goal is short-term goal is to get some cashflow going; longer term enough cashflow to reach a freedom number that dances in my head nights.

I am interested to network with other Philly Real Estate investors.
I have a mentor, well versed in the market but would love to learn anything people have to share and provide whatever help I can as candidly as I can.
