Looking into the Lehigh Valley area, any insight?
Hey everyone, I am quite new the website and just wanted to thank everyone for the abundance of great information on here. I am 26 years old, looking to become a real estate investor. I work full time and on my spare time I try to read up as much as possible on Real Estate investing.
Does anyone have any experience with Buy and Hold properties in Lehigh Valley? I live in NYC and and obviously participating in this market is far too expensive for me, the same goes for Philly. I was looking at Lehigh Valley, it's only a little bit more then a 2 hour drive, so it's feasible for me. Can anyone share any insight they have on this area?

Hi Frank,
I just sent you a direct message. I work and live in the Lehigh Valley and have a few investment properties of my own in the area. I'd be happy to discuss the market with you. Please do not hesitate to reach out.
