Any Real Estate Investors In Pittsburgh
Hi, I am Mark Dahl. I am new to real estate, I am a wholesaler in the Pittsburgh area. I have been looking at data such as vacancy, average home value/income, crime rate, ect. I have all the data you could possibly need. When it comes down to which properties are good and which are bad I have no idea. Real estate investors could you tell me what you guys look for when you looking at single family homes, duplexes, apartments, flippers? This would help me a extremely to know what I should be looking for in a property.
Thank you, Mark Dahl

@Mark Dahl and @Jesse Goldstein i could fill up 100 pages in small print on what to look for in a real estate deal. You are going to have to go to HK University. Hard Knocks!!. There is no shortcut. Start or continue to grow your reals estate IQ and listen to podcasts and attend webinars and live events etc.. The best way to learn is to get out and do your first deal. Sorry that this is not what you wanted to hear but it took me 27 years in this business to get where I am now and I am still learning every day from my mistakes and my successes. Also look at others and see what they are doing thats working and not working.
