I had a trip planned to come into Pittsburgh to attend the ACRE convention this weekend and it was cancelled. Are there any other educational events going on Friday or Saturday in the city that would be worth attending? Thanks.

We are working on a flip in Greensburg (Westmoreland county) and I am trying to find a good local granite company. Everyone we talk to seems to be 50-75% higher than I get here in my home market. Thanks so much for any help on this.

Brent,
2 years ago I was in the same situation as you. I went to the 3 day seminar and I was very impressed with their systems and professional approach. I was heavily considering the program but I went online to do a little research before I pulled the trigger. Someone on another site suggested that I attend every local REIA meeting over the next 6 months and reach out to the active members to see if I could help them with anything(investing/bird dogging/office work). After 6 months if I did not feel I had made enough contacts to educate me or didn't have enough information to pull the trigger on a deal myself, I should then consider the program.
I started attending meetings and right away I met a veteran wholesaler who lead me through my first few deals and I have since networked with many others and learned a great deal along the way. I would say you try the same thing.
All that being said, I have since met a handful of people who have taken the course and are very happy with it.
Best of luck.

@Chad Reed what is your target market? The investor-friendly brokers are the little ones, and the little ones are usually micro-local. If you know what part of town or what type of property you like (class A/B ... D?), that can narrow it down.
I will be focusing from the Squirrel Hill Tunnel area out to the eastern area of Murrysville. It is looking as if my personal office will be in the Regent Square area and I will be living in the Monroeville/Murrysville area.

Jeremy,
Thanks for reaching out. Basically I would be looking for a broker that understands the investor/agent is much more interested in using the MLS as a research tool than using it to sell or list homes to everyday consumers. However, I would likely list the properties through the broker(the ones that we fix to resell). We have what we would consider a very "investor friendly" broker right now and wanted to start doing some research on Pittsburgh.
Thanks.
