Any advice in Pittsburgh?
I think I have narrowed it down to Pittsburgh. it's so hard to find anything in Cali.
Any advice in Pittsburgh?
Are there any agents out in Pittsburgh that anyone can recommend?
Anything to watch for in Pittsburgh when looking for a rental? Since the weather is so much different from California.

@Lex Phumirat Pittsburgh is a great market and still very affordable and a good place to start. Make sure you build your team and get to know the specific area you want to invest. We buy and sell 2-4 homes a month here in this market and you can get burned if you are not spot on with your market values, the upside and downside of the neighborhoods you are choosing to buy in. Best to interview a few agents who specialize in Investing here and ones who currently have a successful portfolio. You dont want advice from an agent who has little experiences and who owns a portfolio that is not something to be proud of. Build your team of experts, pay them well, take their advice and then let the chips fall where they may.
