I want to ask about PA's multifamily (mainly duplex) scene in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas.Currently, I'm in my mid 20s and am starting a new job in PA.

., get a higher paying job, work two jobs, go to trade school, get a higher paying degree, live in affordable area, etc...these are things that most of us did).

I still have a full-time job, but my goal is to start with 1-2 flips/year for the first couple of years, then ramp up to 5+/year.Right now, I’m focused on learning as much as possible—market analysis, deal sourcing, estimating rehab costs, and raising capital.

Today's end of the day job: putting on a new door.

Vet your contractors and engage partners if you don't have the experience for the job.

Build up job skills, build up savings, and increase your W2 income.

In Columbus, you can still find the 1% rule and there's amazing appreciation potential due to how much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing there (recently Anduril just announced another 4,000 jobs coming to Columbus Ohio on top of Intel, Google, Amazon, FB, Nationwide, Ohio State University, etc.).

Don't quit your day job just yet!

Currently have a great job but want to start acquiring  2-4 unit complexes.

No one checks the maintenance crew to see if the did a good job (as far as I can tell, their in house folks miss stuff).
