Hi All, I'm researching the Allentown, Pennsylvania area to possibly acquire my first property. However, I'm noticing on many listing they will have something in the description in reference to the CO. As-is buyer responsible for CO, Property will have CO by closing, or valid CO. My question is am I missing something? is there something I need to know about Allentown having issues with COs? Also any advice or information on do's and don'ts for a first time home buyer in Allentown please share. Greatly appreciate all feedback. 

Hi All, im new to biggerPockets and currently in the process of research in hopes to purchase my first rental in Scranton or surrounding area. I'm a residential superintendent in NYC which requires me to live on-site so, from my understating I don't think I will qualify for a FHA loan on a multi-family because that requires me to live in one unit for a year. Is there an other alternative ? And will the same apply to a single family home ?
