I recently listened to their interview with The Real Estate Guys Radio Show and it's great to have a forum like here where we can hear from people's own experiences.

He also offers coaching where you joint venture on deals.

Currently we have titled our 16 properties in 4 LLCs and we have a 5th LLC where we manage our properties.

I really want to do local meetups and interact with more advanced investors but don’t know where to start.

I suspect there's lots of inventory, particularly for new folks coming into the area that find the real estate prices are much better than where they came from.Do you have a type of house you like to target?

Not sure where you picked that up from, but it's not correct.  

@Bernardo Bento where can i find what is included in the rehabilitation zone? 

I recently purchased my first duplex in Peoria, AZ in September and I am using it as a house hack where I rent out one side and live in the other.

Joining BiggerPockets is a fantastic first step – it’s where so many great real estate journeys start.

I'd be looking at multiple structures. we try to build below the average new build cost in our market in Columbus Ohio which is 515,000 last year and we target land 40-50k and urban core adjacent where we get higher price per square foot. we build for clients with margin around $190 a sq ft depending on multi or single. we can get that down in our triplex it's a little higher on our single family homes because of garages and limited economies of scale. hope that helps. idk Philly but if you show me the area and styles of homes I can give you some more insights.
