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!

My current portfolio includes two 3-Bed/2-Bath Single Family's in my home state.

Trying to find a way to expand our real estate portfolio while also improving our own home.My wife and I lived with family for 2 years, which allowed us to save quickly.

It is a conventional loan that the bank keeps in their portfolio

Really about growing a strong portfolio of solid deals.Now that being said, if you are a high income earner, well qualified, and can't find reasonably good deals: (i) you can connect with a well connected real estate agent for off-market deals; (ii) you might do a very narrow cost-effective cold call or letter writing.

These costs for most of the individuals are considered personal in nature (unless you have a RE portfolio that is run like a business; see below).

I hold a decent-sized portfolio in Columbus and Cleveland and have seen higher appreciation in my Columbus portfolio.

Quote from @Dan Grove: Hi friends,I'm starting to build a portfolio of long term rentals using creative finance. 

Quote from @Peter Sosnow: @Greg P.Im not a coach, but I built a portfolio of mostly small MF and would be pleased to connect and discuss.  

Currently, I’m actively expanding my portfolio in Austin, Tempa, Dallas, Houston, where I’ve seen significant growth and demand for multifamily housing.
