New member in the Steel City (Pittsburgh!)

[Emily Weitkamp]

Hi Everyone!

I'm a newbie from Pittsburgh learning as much as I can and hoping to become a landlord soon.  I've been reading the forums and listening to podcasts for a few weeks now, but have been interested in real estate for much longer. My husband and I are definitely interested in buy-and-hold, but aren't quite sure which approach to take or which neighborhood to buy. We are thinking of getting either get an inexpensive multifamily in the suburbs just for renting, or house-hacking a more expensive multifamily in the city while renting or selling our current home. So many decisions! I am very nervous about getting started but excited as well.
