In an attempt to encourage and support other first time investors out there I have outlined a few of my team members that are currently under contract or recently purchased their first investment property within the last year. 

Not only are the podcasts informative, but the community is so supportive and encouraging.

Thank you for encouraging me to increase my cash on cash return.

I am so new at STVR's I just needed some encouragement.

I almost won a deal I wasn't even in the same ballpark as numerically, but my responsiveness and willingness kept me in the conversation long enough to get a sincere "thank you" which I don't underrate,I can't argue with saving money, I encourage it!

IMPORTANT:   encourage your tenant to answer the notice (if the sheriff misses a personal service). 

I would strongly encourage the meetups everyone is mentioning above and don't be afraid to come to some of the meetups in Harrisburg and York. 

Constructive, brutally honest criticism encouraged.2.

Hopefully, this will pull up rents in our building as well or encourage investors to look at our entire building for a buyout.Thank you both for the advice in getting started!

An excellent salesmen, encouraging people to just "dive in there, become a real estate investor."
