Rental scene in Pittsburgh
I'm currently finishing up my first flip in Pittsburgh, in upper lawrenceville. I'm looking to take 150k and pick up some rental properties but I'm going back and forth on sfr or multi unit. I'm definitely looking to put in sweat equity either way. I feel like there's great opportunity on SFR to pick up some great appreciation. Also I'm a cash buyer and my credit sucks so that limits me a bit. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks

@Alexander Hamilton i am happy to help. I manage over 600 properties in Pgh and have helped hundreds of real estate investors. I know the market well and buy on average 5 properties a month here. You really should get in touch with a credit repair specialist. I can recommend one. Your ability to expand is going to depend on your ability to get capital. Without good credit and financials it's much harder. Not impossible. I also have a lot of contacts in the lending industry. Let me know how I can help.
