Looking for suggestions on good investment towns in PA

[Scott Vincent]

My wife and I are looking for our first buy and hold rental property. The market on Long Island is just too tough to get into so while we are exploring a few states our top choice would be PA because we can actually drive there rather than fly. We are looking for good cash-flow in preferably "B" areas with decent schools. Philidelphia concerns us a little since it seems to go block by block. If anyone could give some towns that may fit out criteria it would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Guys, I know you're trying to sell Pittsburgh, but he specifically mentioned it be driveable. If you search his town, he's pretty far into Long Island. Just getting to PA/NJ border is a few hours drive. If you're looking at low-price, high cap stuff, there's plenty of supply in the Lehigh Valley area. If you're looking for more stability, there are plenty of towns in the Philly burbs that'll do, there are also plenty of neighborhoods that surround Center City in Philadelphia that are not "block-by-block" depending on your price range.
