Thank you @Steve Babiak! I see that there are some meetings on Saturdays. If they happen to coincide with when i'm down there I will definitely come to a meeting.

The walk from Manayunk to the BSL would be very long, but luckily there's the above ground SEPTA railroad that stops in Manayunk is about a 20 minute ride to Temple. 

Thank you for all of your responses! 

@Luis Vega Thank you for your suggestion, I'll definitely look into her. Also congrats on your purchase and good luck on the renovations!

@Joseph Scorese I saw you mention DIG on another post, I would love to come to a meeting once I move to the area. Thank you!

@Reda Akbil I would love to talk to you sometime about the different neighborhoods of Philly, as I'm trying to get an understanding of the area. Thanks!

@Brendan Markle Thank you for the warm welcome! There's a ton of potential in Philly, I'm sure i'll be able to find something. I'm looking forward to some Owls Football games!

Hi all! My name is Jerry, an accountant from NYC moving to Philadelphia in July/August. Over the past couple of months I've been trying to learn as much about real estate as possible reading posts and blogs and listening to podcasts here on BP, as well as through other avenues. I'm ready to begin my journey as a real estate investor with the move. My girlfriend will be attending grad school at Temple University and I plan on purchasing a MFP that's 20-25 min outside of Temple via public transportation. Preferably we would like to live within walking distance of the BSL and looking into the possibility of Manayunk. 

I plan to take a couple of trips down to meet with realtors and to familiarize myself with the area as I understand Philadelphia is a city of neighborhoods and competition there is pretty steep right now. If anyone has any insight about the area or referrals for investor friendly agents it would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance!
