Weclome to BP, I am not the biggest fan of the book but that is truly a great lesson that I learned from Rich Dad Poor Dad also.

Great luck.

Welcome to Biggerpocket!

A personal property is only a liability if you let it be. Many people we know rent out their rooms having someone else pay for their asset and they live there free. We personally love buying as many "future" rentals as possible as personals. My husband has a transient job, the Navy. We buy personals properties and renting them out when my husband is transferred (Navy). We also buy pure rentals when the number works. our market is class A properties managed all over the country as "home" is only relevant to the current set of orders.

Definitely check out the podcasts, blogs and forums. They are awesome resources. While everyone agrees on investing in real estate, that is where the similarities end. Everyone has their own niche, rules/business plan that is their key to success.

Another great resource is individual signatures. Many of us, including myself have websites/blog located in our signature that we discuss our strategy, plan, etc. This is a great way to find more about a specific personals "niche"/"strategy".

Everyone has their own unique strategy based on what works for them. 

Hello and welcome.
I'm up the street in aston.
Currently working on two major rehabs in Ridley and boothwyn, either of which a traditional bank would lend on- however there are a few out there- call them all.. I'd also chat with a hard money lender, that could be beneficial in landing a deal, given the amount of cash you have available- ive used rehab financial group on the mainline- and would recommend them.
Lastly - delco is extremely competitive - jump on Mls leads ASAP, as they go quick- I wish you luck.!

Talk to a local lender about Fannie Mae HomePath Renovation Loans and Fannie Mae HomeStyle Renovation loans. Both would include rehab funds. HomePath is going away soon though. I can refer someone if you'd like; send me a message.

I recommend that you look into local networking events to pick the brains of local investors. Once you get to know these local investors, you may find that one of them would make a good partner on your first deal. You could get into a deal with the money you have available as well as gain experience and prevent making significant mistakes. Keep in mind that partnerships are like marriages, so get to know these potential investment partners on a personal level. Ask about their experience and why you would invest with them.
