Hi, I'm looking to network with commercial real estate investors in my area.

The more expensive single family housing units are absorbing with far greater ease than smaller apartment units in the northern liberties/fishtown/ Kensington neighborhoods. 

Has anyone had any experience with these types of properties and have any tips, stories, advice about this niche.  

Over the past two years, I've completed two primary residence renovations using 203K loans, created one LTR, one MTR, and now I'm excited to expand into flipping.I'm focusing on the Beaverton area and looking to connect with experienced investors who can recommend reliable lenders, wholesalers, or other deal finders.

Hello, my name is Jeremy, and I am a new real estate investor and property manager, with a growing presence in the industry.

Happy to connect with you!
