@Chris Engler Any update on this? I heard very good things about Embassy. Do they lend to LLCs?

@Dylan Mathias Nobody seems to mention this article: https://www.extension.harvard.edu/inside-extension/how-use-real-estate-trends-predict-next-housing-bubble I only got in the market around 2012/2013, so I can’t say i experienced to know for sure. According to this article, the US real estate cycle is very predictable and is generally every 18 years (with rare exceptions due to events that impact the whole world like WW1 and WW2). So if the last crash was 2008, the next one will be 2026. Will you be willing to wait for that long? Maybe since you are still very young. I’m older than you so I’m still looking for deals and have goals to fulfIll for the next 5 years. Nevertheless, I do appreciate you starting this thread because of the many helpful responses it generated. I also do believe that there may be a dip but not a recession in the next 1-2 years. I buy out of state since where I live is expensive too, and the only deal I was able to find in the last year and half was an off market deal from another investor.

Hi we need a general contractor to help us fix up one unit in a four-plex in Allentown PA. Roughly, we need the kitchen and bathroom redone, as well as paint and carpet. Please let me know when you can come take a look and provide a fee quote. Please email me at [email protected] or call at 347-969-9553. Thank you!

Congratulations Justin Brown ! House-hacking is a great way to invest for sure

Joe C exciting news! I saw an ADP building near where I live, I guess not for much longer

Eddie L. Yes Easton is also getting revitalized a lot, especially the downtown area.

Shane Ward yes there is a podcast about bethlehem. Google “vacuum the truck” and “BiggerPockets podcast”. It was an inspiring one. That guy was able to get out of the rat race investing in bethlehem, starting from house hacking.

Cesar Medina there is a good podcast from Sunny and Sunmarie (if I remember their names correctly). They are a couple from NJ who house hacked and had two properties with 7 units. I think they are in Arlington NJ. You can listen to that podcast to get some ideas. It’s a reasonable commute to NYC. Lehigh Valley in PA is too far in my opinion. I have an investment property there and talked to people who live there. The commute to NYC can be as long as four hours (one way) if the traffic is bad.

Hi Jason, are you going to host something similar this year? (Belated) Congratulations on your first syndication deal, and hope you are doing great!

Corey Jackson Can you send them over as well? Please PM me. Thanks!
