I've always had an interest in real estate but never did anything about it. It's time for me to dive right in and get started.

Lots of growth in population and the job market so rental demand is strong.

I don't know the rental demand, or the demand for families buying single family homes in that area.

You might study up on this Atlanta business that is growing their business with private offerings (funding)   padsplit.comThey have a shades of gray solutoin for the unrelated adults, and rooming house zoning that is sort of working in the Atlanta area.   

Another thing I am doing right now is looking for a mentor to help with my strategy, but in the meantime I thought I'd make a post and hear what BP investors would do in my shoes.For my situation, I am 26 and I have a very low income (55-65k annual) for my household and a growing family of 5 to support.

What makes you believe buyers will accept offers that are 30-50% below the list price when you are in a seller market with seemingly a lot of buyer demand.

As investors and yes friends of mine grow their business into very  large commercial properties.

The BRRRR method and house flipping are excellent strategies, especially for building capital and growing your portfolio.

I specialize in identifying, negotiating, and investing in new construction homes.The main focus of my investment strategy is to negotiate the best possible deals on new homes in growing communities.

For your next steps, focus on identifying areas in Northeastern PA with strong rental demand and property values that align with your cash flow goals.
