Investing in MFR in Wilkinsburg , PA. Need advice please.

[Preston Patterson]

I am looking to invest in the Point Breeze / Wilkinsburg area. The homes I’m looking at are duplex’s and tri-plexes. I know the area is a bit sketchy in certain places.

I wanted to see if anyone has any experience investing in these areas for long term renting.

The prices for homes seem cheap and I believe the crime rate is a reflection of that downside.

I see cash flow opportunity but worry about vacancy eating up profits.

Any thoughts?
