Small western PA markets (Edinboro, Franklin, Punxsutawney, etc)?

[Jeff C.]

Hello all -

I'm curious if anyone has any insight on small western PA markets (Edinboro, Franklin, Punxsutawney, Meadville, Clarion, Indiana, etc).

There is a lot in these forums about Pittsburgh, but finding info on some of these other areas is harder to come by. I am mainly interested in 2-4 unit multi-family properties for cash-flow purposes. Does anyone have any thoughts on the viability of these markets for cash-flow investment, what one should expect to pay per-unit for a decent property, and any "gotchas?"

I'm looking to invest from out-of-state and would like to familiarize myself with the region.

Thanks!
