Investing in Harrisburg Area

Hi everyone,

I am looking to invest in the Harrisburg (17110) I also was looking at 17103 but looks to have high crime rates but rent is still high with lower property prices.  I am also looking into a near by town Lebanon (17046) area which seems like a nice suburb. 

I have been doing research on areas not to invest in where crime might be a little higher but it would be much appreciated if anyone could shed some light on any negatives about investing in the area.  I really want to make it to the investors meeting this Thursday 02/23/17 but might be difficult for me to make it on time as I work in DC. 

I have mainly been looking at Duplex's that rent out for 2%+ of purchase price. 

It seems Harrisburg has slowly been rebounding, i visit Harrisburg a couple times a year for different events and I think it is a nice area. 

Thanks in advance everyone for input.

I grew up in Harrisburg, i live in Florida now but I have an investment firm that is actively investing in Harrisburg. My partner lives there and attends most of the meetings so i could have you meet him and he could help you with your research.  We also have properties right now that may interest you. Send me a message and i can go over them in more detail.
