Hey, thank you for the welcome @John Knisely. I glad to have finally made it to the discussion forums. I was born and raised in Philadelphia. so, I am pleased to hear there are a lot of great people here with experience in Philadelphia. In addition, I love the fact there are other great individuals on the forums from out of state. You never know where life will take you next, but to answer your question. I am interested in the BRRRR strategy currently, but hoping to transition into buy and hold/flip in the near future.
I am familiar with most parts of the city, but my target area is the west/southwest region of Philadelphia. I've noticed a lot of good changes since moving out that neighborhood as a kid. I am looking to invest in the month of March for sure. I agree the city is very diverse, so I am looking to expand to other parts under the right guidance or when the time is best. I will definitely look into those networking groups. Networking is a vital aspect to the process of Real Estate success.
Again, thank you for reaching out. I look forward to speaking with you soon. It's always good to have someone around you can learn from.
