I’m very hard working, a great organizer and planner, a people person, and don’t have a problem working from the ground up in order to learn the ropes.

They helped me to organize my thoughts!

I think me being on the Board and doing the work curried favor at some point after I'd moved out and was renting the unit.Get on the HOA Board (most of the time its like no one wants to volunteer to be on it so it shouldn't be hard) and later on buy another unit.  2 out of 16 votes along with other landlords would be tough to beat.

You may get a tax break if you can find an organization to donate it to. 

They are very organized and informative.

Thanks for the reply Brett.I am currently working on Filing my articles of organization, my marketing startegies,  my website,and looking at which companies to use for a VA and call center.Im also looking to assist a local wholesaler by bringing them my first deals to help me analyze the deals and split the profit.Ive heard that wholesaling in the suburbs of NYC may be more productive than the city itself.Do you have any knowledge of the NYC market and surrounding areas?

We're focused on City of Pittsburgh and first ring suburbs.My experience in real estate has all been personal so far, including doing a 2-year long gut renovation of my current house, and being on the board of a nonprofit community organization that works on housing issues and works with local developers (nearly 10 years).

I already have couple HCV tenants, however I've never heard about this organization before.

I am an active broker that attends and volunteers at the sdcia club monthly meetings.

The company is roughly organized into (1) acquisitions, (2) asset management/operations, (3) risk management (also construction), (4) finance/tax, and (5) legal.This is an awesome learning opportunity, and I want to take full advantage of it.
