Pittsburgh Property Near University of Pitt

[AK Fowler]

Hi BiggerPockets Family,

We need some help with finding a good area to invest in the Pittsburgh area. We prefer to be near University of Pitt. We have a son that will be attending there and we believe it would be smarter to purchase an SFH that we can House Hack or Multi-Family (which could house hack too). Our issue, is understanding the area's such as Squirrel Hill North, South Side Flats, Shadyside, North Oakland, Greenfield, etc.

We are open to driving to campus but it can't be more than 20 mins. Purchase price is around $150k. This would be in our business name (Bluebird Homes). We are coming from the Philly area which is why we need some help. We are also finishing up a major flip which will list in July, so the idea is that it would be sold in August and we can then purchase a property in Pitt. 

If anyone knows the Pitt area, please reach out. Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Thank You, 

Amy and Kevin
