Looking for Seller financing/subject to opportunities

[Makayla Hartley]

I am BRAND new to the site and this industry, and was hoping this might be a good place to hear about off market opportunities in the general areas of Tionesta, PA, Logan, OH, or Pittsburgh, PA. I've been listening to the Bigger Pockets real estate podcast which educated me on the possibilities of no or low money down using seller financing or subject to deals, which to my understanding rarely or cannot happen through a realtor. My fiancé and I want to start our investment portfolio with STR's and are focusing on the areas listed because of their proximity to us and the attractions that would bring in tenants (Cooks forest, Allegheny national forest, Ohiopyle, Hocking Hills, and all the attractions of the city). We are looking for cabins, or even land parcels that we could build container homes on in Tionesta and Logan. In Pittsburgh, we are in the market for any single family home that could be good as an Airbnb. Any leads would be greatly appreciated as we are very new to the space and have not built much of a network yet. Hopefully this post is the first step in creating that network! Thank you for any and all feedback!
