@Fandor Malebranche Jr welcome to Bp!

   That's some great advice that @Ethan Giller and @Troy Sheets Are offering you and there is plenty more of it on this site if you just ask.

Is going to an Auction your "next" step or only step? Try to take some time to educate yourself on your local market, maybe go out with an agent and take a look at some houses on MLS so you can see what your potential competition looks like. @jscotts book on flipping houses could be a huge time and money saver for you going foward. Best of luck to you in all your real estate ventures!

Post: What was your "AHA!" Moment with BiggerPockets?

Great question @Scott Trench   

   My "AHA" moment came when I was searching the web for info on my most recent run in with the newest "Guru" in the area, the first result that popped up led me to a forum on Gurus, then I became hooked. Since then BP has given my the confidence and education that I needed to get back into pursuing my dream as a real estate investor. I'm very grateful that a site like this exist, and in the beginning thought it was too good to be true, thought for sure there was going to be a "catch".  Obviously as we all know by now there is not! 

   BP to me is a tramendus group of sincere, passionate individuals all looking to accomplish the same goal of "Fiancial Freedom"

I'll br there @Brandon Turner , thanks for the fix @Joel Owens

@Cal C. Looks great and I have recommended it on kitchen remodels. But owners with kids are concerned about children putting anything but food in it. Is there a child safety lock available on any models?

@Troy Whitney welcome to BP! Have you ever visited these parts of Philly that your investing in to get a feel for the area? Or did you do your due diligence via the Internet?

Reason I ask, cause I also invest out of state. Although it's not cross country ;)
