Thanks for the heads up gentlemen. I am obviously going to continue looking but I appreciate your experience on the topic. In lieu of investing in Atown where the market is jam-packed would it make more sense for a first timer like me to consider looking in the surrounding area for a duplex or triplex? Be it Whitehall, Nazareth, Coplay etc? Any thoughts?

That sounds great! I'll let my agent know that the 4 family is my optimal choice. 

Do you believe a 3 family or a duplex is worth it for a first investment in our area or should I be patient and hold out for a 4 family?

Thanks for the guidance! I'm still in the process of saving some money right now. Have you been through the process of buying with low or no money down? I'm concerned about making sure I have enough for closing costs. Can you give me an example of what it cost in cash when making an FHA purchase?

I'm very excited to get started but I don't want to rush into something without the facts. Thanks for your help!

 I'm in the West end of Allentown right now and I still carry the label of tenant. I'm looking to get out of that situation before next summer. 

How's your experience in Allentown been?

Greetings, I'm Sean Vitale and I found my way to BP through Mister Money Moustache on a search for financial freedom. 6 months ago I had no financial plans and I almost bought a single family home with no understanding of what that meant for my life or how it factored into the big picture. 

Presently, I am inspired by this community and I have been listening to the podcast. I'm saving and shopping for my first multifamily property with the goal of house hacking. I'm a full time worker and I really enjoy my job but I have fully bought into the Mr Money Moustache idea that work is better when you don't need the money. My mission begin like so many of you in the community have and progress to earning an equivalent income to my middle class salary. At this point the multifamily asset class makes the most sense to me. 

What do you think about where a guy like me should start? I'm 28 years old, unmarried, and happy to work full time, but I see and believe in the power of financial freedom through real estate. 

Thank you all and thank you Josh, Brandon, and the rest of the BP team for building this community.
