@Harrison Smith Thanks for reaching out! I am going to make an effort to attend the Southern Maine Monthly Investors Meet Up in April. 

Hey BP Nation,

I am excited to be joining BiggerPockets to build connections and learn from experienced investors. My fiancé and I bought our first property in October as an owner occupied, 3 unit home. We spent roughly $3,500 on renovations and put quite a bit of effort into screening for good tenants, which was well worth it. Both units have been fully rented for the past 6 months and we are glad to have stepped into the world of real estate.

We would like to expand our network and acquire two more properties by the end of 2018. Our strategy is to purchase buy and hold rental units in class B neighborhoods in central Maine. We both have solid, steady incomes so conventional financing seems like the best route to take at this stage in the game. We would love to hear any advice that you have to offer on acquisition, financing, property management, etc.
