Property Investment in Pittsburgh, PA

[Savannah Lewison]

Hello! This is my first post on BP and I am so glad to have found a place to ask all of my RE questions and connect with those who share a similar interest. I am fairly new to RE but have had a long time interest in purchasing property, specifically rentals. I have come across the city of Pittsburgh as a great city for investment. I truthfully have never been but will be visiting on August for a half work half play trip to check it out. I would love to hear from some Pittsburgh natives or those just familiar with the city and it's market! Thoughts on owning rentals in Pitt? What have been your experiences on RE investment in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas?

Aweful idea to go into long distance rentals without any rental experience.  Stay local.
