Looking to build a solid team over here if possible. 

i currently use ocuplant realty team and denson construction for the 7 properties I have in detroit. did you get a property @Jesse Streng

I know building a reliable local network will be key, so I'm hoping to connect with experienced real estate team in the area.The military presence in Jacksonville catches my eye, and I'm particularly interested in properties that might appeal to military personnel and the associated contractors.

Thanks Talk to experienced PM's and Landlords in the area.

I recommend talking with an experienced broker who can help you shop multiple lenders  

Pittsburgh ranks #5 on Marcus & Millichap’s list of high-yield multifamily markets.Pittsburgh’s unemployment rate (4.7%) has dropped by 17.5% over the past 5 years.Pittsburgh is experiencing a demographic shift.

You will not have the rate long enough for it to interfere with your current and proposed profits.This is where having a good team comes into play for example having a seasoned realtor who knows the market on the purchase/ARV side.

I'm eager to learn the ropes, connect with experienced investors, and contribute to this fantastic community.A little about me:- Location: Bellevue , PA-Focus: Real estate wholesaling, with a long-term goal of building a portfolio of rental properties.- Background: Took some real estate classes before but really a lot of self learning on creative financing - Current Goal:To close my first wholesale deal within the next few months by learning from seasoned investors and applying proven strategies.I'm here to absorb as much knowledge as possible, so if you have any tips or resources, I’m all ears!

You'll also want to make sure you have your full team ready so you can be prepared when the right deal comes along. 

Would be very interested to hear from experienced investors on your thoughts for these two areas specifically.
