Investing/house hacking in Pittsburgh

[Mark Costa]

Good morning and Happy Holidays, BPrs,

My brother-in-law is thinking of moving to Pittsburgh and I suggested he consider a nice house hack to get started. They are visiting the city now and are looking for suggestions on places to look. He and his wife are younger and have no kids, so their criteria are more focused on walkability, restaurants, and safety, and less on schools.

Does anyone have any suggestions on which neighborhoods to look to for investors or maybe a person they could have coffee with or talk to in the near future?

Thank you,

@Mark Costa What's their primary goal with the house hack? To live for cheaper in a high end area that is very desirable but won't really cash flow? Or to live for free/make money every month in a less desirable although higher cash flowing area? Pittsburgh has a range of neighborhoods so both can be achieved depending on their priorities/goals as investors.
