Newbi Pittsburgh Investor

[Ian Agar]

Hey Bigger Pockets people! Im 22, and looking to invest in Pittsburgh, PA. Lived on the southeast end all my life so I somewhat understand the market. Iv been learning about real estate for the past month while saving some capitol for my first investment property. My goal is to buy my first by the end of 2021. I Just wanted to know if anyone had tips or anything at all you would tell a first time investor in Pittsburgh, PA. I'm deciding weather to do a house hack with an FHA loan to get a lower down payment among so many other benefits to house hacking. I just wish I could use first time home buyers, but life isn't that easy lol. Or to just find a single family home after I know how much I'm approved for. Any comments at all would help my gurney! Thanks to all!
