-Go find some meetups in your area; and if you don't have one, either start one or go to surrounding area meetups.

Hey Kevin,My advice would be to constantly surround yourself with like minded individuals and those doing better than you in REI.

Hello BP Members,I am a CPA in PA looking to invest in Residential RE in Philadelphia and the surrounding area.

I would like to surround myself with more people to have the conversation with.

Happy to chat more about my journey of working a W2 and moving into RE investing at the same time.For me, it comes to surrounding yourself with a great team. 

What avenue would you recommend taking in finding decent units within Meriden and surrounding area?

I have been living in Houston for 7-years and I personally invest only in the Houston areas and I have been helping other investors to invest in Greater Houston and surrounding cities. 

So I would say around 26-30% return a year with principle.As an FYI: All properties in this city have appreciated 15% to 20% since Covid started and rent for a two bedroom experienced the highest increase in North America according to many reports due to low supply and vacancy rate sits at 0.9%The appraisal came in at $395,000 when I initially had 390K offered on it and went down after due to no electric setup in the garage.The area itself is close to downtown and major attractions within just 10 minutes.. but it isn't one that will experience development as it is surrounded by mostly empty industrial zoned land for years and years and mostly older homes that are ready to be renovated and bought for cheap.My question to all is..

I like properties in the richmond area but not necessarily in the city limits I like the surrounding neighborhoods.

I wholesale a lot of deals in Birmingham and sub markets surrounding, happy to help you find some deals!
