I am looking to connect with local investors and will be looking to make my first investment soon as well.

Look at buying my first investment property (probably a house in the 100-150k range) and begin looking for a tennant.I can imagine there a lot of different theories/ideas with what one could do here--I am just curious to see what other people think.

Looks like there is no one from Allentown here at BP Hendrix.

Refinancing isn’t an option yet because of the way we purchased it (unless someone has a bank that will look at the deal differently) our original plan was to pay off our balloon in early 2027 when it is due which the bank will treat as a purchase and then we would wait until we are able to refinance so probably 2028 and then we could pull out a good chunk of equity at that time.

I’m looking into the flipping market and trying to understand more about it since that’s what I want to focus on and do in my life.

Looks to be enough room to make money but just be sure you're very confident in the comps in the area the property is in. 

Although that would be looked down upon by a lender as well because of the inherent risk of lending to someone who has too much on their plate. 

Thanks for reading, look forward to hearing feedback!
