Investing in Pennsylvania Market?

[Jonathan Rivera]

As I now decide what out of state market I want to get into, I come to the thought that bc I am from New Jersey the closest state possible to me is Pennsylvania. The price difference from NJ & PA are significant. It’s also a decent landlord friendly state for investors. 

I originally was looking in the Midwest and different areas & I still am but, when I start thinking about rehabbing & working on a project, I tell myself I can easily drive 1-4 hours to check on my property PA because of the distance vs somewhere like the Midwest where it’s  super far. It just gives me a peace of mind.

Any advice from people with experience in the PA market or just in general is would love your input on this one & connect. 

Thank you

Hi Jonathan! I was born and raised in York, PA. I would say your best areas are going to be closest to the bigger colleges and universities. Philly, Harrisburg, York, Gettysburg, State College, etc. Happy to share any additional insight!
