Pottstown, PA Feedback

[Jordan M.]

Hey BP! After a long hiatus I am finally back in the market for my first investment property. I have been pre-approved for a loan and begun my search. While doing so, I came across a property located in Pottstown that almost seems to good to be true so I was hoping to get some feedback on the Pottstown rental market. I recall reading that this area could be tricky while conducting research last year but now I am looking to validate my thoughts. 

I tried to search but nothing turned up. Does anyone have any insights, experiences or just general comments they want to share? Thanks in advance.

I'm looking into buying my first rental property in 2019 and I'm just doing my research right now.  Although I live just north of Pottstown, I was thinking of staying away from the area due to the increasing taxes and how bad I heard it was when I was growing up in a neighboring school district.  However, I came across this article and it got me thinking, and so I too was wondering what others thought of the Pottstown rental market, especially what it could look like in the next 5-10 years.
