Brian, I shoot for $100-200 per door in the first year. Are you buying off the MLS?

Are you literally just looking in Dunmore? Or surrounding areas as well?

 Hi Chris, Thanks for the response.  I've been looking in the Scranton/Dunmore area for about 2 years but see a lot popping up in Dunmore recently.

Hi Brian,

Appreciate your response.  I own multifamily in Great Bend and Halsted PA.  I've been looking in the Scranton/Dunmore area for about 2 years but the cash flow doesn't seem to be there.  I'm about ready to retire so I'm not looking to compete in a bidding war, mainly looking for a fair deal that I can rehab or a turnkey with some cash flow.  Have a great day.  


 Also maybe I'm being too cautious, you are finding deals.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene:

Hey @John Tomassacci! What is your price range (or down payment range) and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?


 Hi Jaycee,

Apreciate your response.  For a 2 unit I'd like something around $200K, will go higher for more units.  The down payment isn't a problem.  A fixer is generally where I buy but I'd buy turnkey if the cash flow is there.

I want to start investing in Dunmore, PA.  Any advice is greatly appreciated.  Looking for advice on good areas and areas to stay away from.  Thank You in advance.

Thank you for your advice.  I just bought the place with tenants already there.  I think they thought they could slide this through without me catching it.  Have a great day.

I have a tenant who hardly ever stays at her apartment but has let her 20 old daughter move back in and the daughter brought her boyfriend with her.  They are nice people but I'm not sure how to handle the lease now.  Should everyone be on the lease?  Any advice is greatly APPRECIATED.  Thanks in Advance.
