Your post is spot on.  Thanks for sharing with Voley. And me, too!

Several investors have success in the Pittsburgh, PA market. Buy-in is often more conducive but money making properties go very quickly. Gotta know the market. Feel free to reach out if you're ever interested in seeing how Pittsburgh can help you with your goals. Thanks, Gary

Hi again Noy, I responded to your earlier post. I'm also an experienced investor savvy realtor who has done transactions with investors here on BP and outside of this wonderful forum.  

Hi Noy, Pittsburgh is a strong market for investors. Buy-in is often more conducive than other more saturated markets and there's such a wide variety of options to choose from.  Neighborhoods to invest in is a more subjective topic as that is often dependent on the type of investment you're interested in, your price point and even the type of tenants, if that's the route your going,  that you are trying to attract. I've been active in the community for many many years. So feel free to reach out to me with specific questions you may have. Thanks,  Gary 

Hi Elwin, first off let me say that I give you a lot of credit for investing again.  I have a feeling things will work out a lot better. I'm currently working with another investor in developing vacant land.  They are interested in Lawrenceville.  What area(s) are you considering? I've lived here my whole life and know the area and market very well. Look forward to hearing from you. 

Hi James, welcome to BP. I have a lot of experience with out of state investors and help them succeed in their goals. Would like to hear more about your specific plans and goals. Feel free to reach out. 

Hi Mo. I'm here for you. I am well connected in the investment community here in Pittsburgh. 

Hi Anne, I am a 23+ year realtor who works with many investors in the Pittsburgh area. Many of my clients, and investors in general, have a lot of success in the Pittsburgh market. The buy in is a lot more budget friendly and values are stable and growing. But it pays to really know or at least learn about the area, as properties and neighborhoods change dramatically. I've lived here my whole life and know the market and area very well. I would interested to hear more about your specific plans and goals. Feel free to reach out...thanks, Gary

Hi Richard. We have plenty of properties in Pittsburgh, PA under 200k, but it just depends on what specifically you're looking in addition to cash flow ie: SFR or MFR, condition, location, type of tenant, etc. Feel free to reach out to me if you would like to know more about the Pittsburgh market as I've lived here my whole life and am in an out of properties every single day.

Hi James, welcome to BP. You've chosen a good market to potentially invest in. I might be a little biased since I've lived here my whole life. But Pittsburgh really can offer a buy in that's better than other more saturated markets. And many investors, both local and remote, are finding properties with decent revenue returns and/or cash flow. I'm not going to sugar coat it though. Investing in any city,  including Pittsburgh requires one to really know the area, the type of investment you want to buy and especially if remote having a knowledgeable and trustworthy team. Our neighborhoods and properties change dramatically. Sometimes even on the same street. I always suggest to come to Pittsburgh,  check out the topography, infrastructure, economic opportunities and of course a sampling of properties.  Not always easy when remote but you might just find someone who is adept at providing you with a wealth of knowledge.  Feel free to reach out if you'd like to know more about what Pittsburgh could offer you. Thanks,  Gary
