One thing that I've found on BP is that there is a very fine line between "do it yourself" and losing one's behind because of a lack of knowledge.

I don't know much about mortgage notes nor would find the time to become knowledgable enough to invest there, thanks for the suggestion though! 

These are invaluable knowledge.

@Paul BogardTo rent out multiple bedrooms in Philadelphia, understand zoning regulations, consult a knowledgeable real estate agent, hire a property manager, and consider multi-unit properties, student housing, and co-living spaces.

Really puts into perspective my strategy given my current situation.I will continue to accumulate capitol and work on my skills/knowledge for when i will embark on my rental real estate journey whether it be here (if i stay longer than anticipated) or when I come back to the US once my contract is completed. 

@Alecia Loveless thank you so much for knowledgeable reply, thats what i been hearing so far through lot of members here in BP.

Super helpful and their CEO Zach is very knowledgeable and obviously cares about making sure his clients are taken care of.

I have met him and to my knowledge he is an upstanding person.
