Where to invest eastern PA? No good deals on market?

[Tanner Foix]

I am looking to invest anywhere between Scranton and Philly but avoiding the cities. Whether it is a flip or rental I am having a hard time finding any decent deals on the MLS. Any recommendations on specific areas or tips?

Thanks

Hi welcome to the community. You definitely should look at off market inventory, currently all around philly and the surrounding counties there are very little good deals still left on the MLS and the good deals don't make it to market. I would focus on Delco + Montco county for flips and rentals. Both areas have pockets that are great for both.

Norristown is an interesting area, its very block by block, and the values show that. But I will say that Norristown is very up and coming with a ton of money being pumped into the area. They are trying to make it what phoenixville is like now, an artsy district kind of vibe. Here is an article describing the planned development, https://www.norristown.org/424...

I hope this can shed some light on Norristown, but also Delco is a fantastic area to get into.
