Stuck in Analysis Paralysis

[Keshav Bhandari]

Hi there,

I am a new member to Bigger Pockets and Interested in LTR. I am looking for 2-4 units Multifamily properties to start with but I am so confused about couple of things here:

1. The tax situation here in scranton, PA where city tax is at 3% ?? as compared to other areas with 1 %. Would that be a problem if I am not in scranton but I have a rental property there?

2. Also the houses here are very old, most of those listed are anywhere from <1900-1950. What has your experience been with older houses, Any advise for me regarding this?
