@Jeremy Pace I'm having similar thoughts, wondering what the catch is. Though I'm always thinking that. I wasn't aware of the number of large property management companies in the area though, so thanks. Any companies you would recommend talking to? I would probably use a management company, since I'm out of state.  

@Blake McLaren Thanks for the info!

Hi All,

I'm looking at a package of multifamily buildings (~30 units in 5 buildings) in PGH, in the Friendship neighborhood (They're all off of Friendship Ave, between Penn Ave & Baum Blvd). I was hoping someone could give me an idea of what to expect for cap rates and vacancy rates in the area. My assumption right now is around 7% for cap rate, and 5% for vacancy.

Any other opinions about the area that people want to share, I'm all ears.

Thanks,

Chris

Does anyone have any experience with the company that posts these advertisements? http://cnj.craigslist.org/rej/5274274723.html

Is it legit, or a scam? Seems too good to be true to me.

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a real estate attorney in the central NJ area? Right now I just need someone to review the lease for my first rental, but I'd like to find someone to use for future purchases and LLC advice.

Thanks!

Oh my, that lease has so many loopholes @Michael Wolffs.  I can send you a much better one to work with.  Regular real estate brokers who don't do any buy and hold investing don't add much value when it comes to what really important, like protecting your investment.  Standard leases are basic and meant to get a place rented by realtors quickly.

 @Darren Sager, I'm in a similar situation as @Michael Wolffs, and would love a copy your lease also. If you could please send it to me, I'd appreciate it.
