Originally posted by @Eric Johnson:It’s odd because from all of the multifamily buildings I’ve financed, none of my clients have said they started in a Neil Bawa boot camp or similar. 

We meet upstairs in the Camp Hill Giant (the one off of 15) the first Thursday of the month at. 

A $60k rehab won't happen overnight though, that will take much longer than a $20k rehab (generally). 

I’m going to a 3 day Multifamily boot camp this weekend by Rod Khleif to see what I can learn from that, but your blog seems to address many of the questions I have.

What I would do, and you should do, may not be the same thing...and they probably aren't.1 - you need to establish what you financial goals are, as they pertain to your monthly payments and your total personal debt.2 -  you need to lay out a series of Milestones, with the order and groupings based on your ability to go from one set (Milestone) to the next.3 - you need to establish a property profile for flipping/holding that is based on numbers 1 and 24 - Then, you need to find the right Micro-Markets that are filled with properties from #35 - Camp out there, and work your way through the Milestones until you've executed each one.It's likely that each Milestone will demand a different Property Profile since you will be working with a different set of goals, and a different set of financial capabilities. 

Also, you hit at the classic day job issue which has two camps, too...ironically, your day job may help you launch away from it (as banks like a strong, steady w2 like yours to make loans), so that can be part of your real estate plan, too..

I’m based in Hummelstown but I look for deals a lot over in Camp Hill as well.I don’t want to go into too much detail, but I’d just want to caution you to make sure you’re getting a good deal.

.$3100- $1600 = $1500 cash flow.I have another 80k saved up and would like to put about 60k towards my next property (leaving 20k for emergency funds, rehabs, personal fund etc.)I have zero debt (no student loans, no car payment) outside of the HELOC I had to purchase the first property I stated above and most of my living expenses are paid by my employer (car, gas, cell phone).I am based out of Central Pennsylvania and am looking to stay somewhat locally for my first few properties (Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Lancaster, Hershey etc.) and am not really interested in out of state investing.Just looking for some advice or input on what you would do next if you were in my situation,Any input and info would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

In general, I have seen more average homeowners become lanldords than flippers (which can depend as much on your construction knowledge and project management in my view)...Also, side note,  I like that part of the country and spent 3 summers there outside east stroudsburg as camp counselor....tannersville was closest town I recall to camp...best of luck!

If the weather is cold enough to be a problem you can't leave it dewinterized overnight.
