Want to start your Real Estate Portfolio?

There's no denying Real Estate is a great long term investment. I've read and listened to many people talk about their investment journey. What I often hear is the first house bought is one they lived in and fixed up to make a profit once they sold- 2,3,5 years down road.
They use those proceeds to purchase a second investment- ideally a multifamily property. Live in one, rent out other to cover your mortgage. Sounds good to me!
This will also give you a taste of being a landlord. Do you like being a landlord? Then maybe buying and holding properties makes sense for you. Lots of people don't like being a landlord and they choose the "buy it and flip it" route. This is a little more tricky and risky, however when done right, can make you money.

There are a ton of opinions and recommendations when starting, but the key is to start! Rewards often require risk and possible failures (aka learning experiences). But you won't know until you try!

Buy, live in one and rent out the other = no mortgage payment for you!

What do you love about Narberth?

One of the many things I love about the Philadelphia suburbs are the individual towns with their charm and lively downtowns! You'll see this character in such towns as West Chester, Media, Ambler, Phoenixville and Narberth. Each with their own history and attractions.

Narberth is a town that I'm having fun exploring! My husband works in town and before knowing him, my only experience was driving through to avoid 76 traffic! There are many shops and restuarants that are still on my 'to do' list. Hopefully we can check some off this winter!

Did you know:
Narberth was incorporated in 1895
It's only 1/2 square mile within Lower Merion Townhip
Philadelphia Eagles founder, Bert Bell spent his final years here

If you're looking to move to the neighborhood, I have the perfect home for you!

This 3 bedroom 1.5 bath Twin home is just a short walk to downtown Narberth with restaurants, movie theater, shops, library & playground - everything you need plus the Paoli/Thorndale train line for an easy commute into Philadelphia. 
Updated Kitchen, Finished Basement, large backyard and off street parking make this home a steal!

Some organizations that are sea to me are having some great events coming up.
1. The Farm Sanctuary hosts a national Walk for Animals every year. Our local Philadelphia walk is on October 3rd at 11am.
This event raises money and awareness to animal cruelty. This is an amazing organization and cause that I hope you'll support. "Throughout the years, more than 8,000 animals have called Farm Sanctuary home, and we have found safe and loving placement for nearly 3,000 more. The animals who come to our sanctuaries have been rescued from factory farms, stockyards, natural disasters, and abuse and neglect cases. When you Walk, the donations you raise help us rescue, feed, administer urgent care, and provide permanent homes for farm animals!"

2. As a chair for the Farm Explorer Committee through The Junior League of Philadelphia, I became a fan of Greener Partner's and their Longview Farm & Market. They offer Pick your Own fruits (right now are apples and pears!), education tours and events. 
Every year they host a Farmer Showdown and family harvest festival. Food, drinks, & fun!
