Best and most reliable way is to build your own list, any other list will already have been scoured by investors in a market like this, especially if you don't have a competitive edge on the flipping costs.

Hi Colin,

Got any other pictures? I work just up the hill in Sewickley Heights and know some great brick guys.

I almost wish there was a website, a type of central database for investors, where small towns could pitch what their plans are to revitalize themselves.

I've caught myself thinking the same about several old mill towns - I just wonder what the catalyst will be for gentrification in some of these areas. Some of them would be absolute goldmines if you could get in early at the right time. I'd assume talking to a lot of local politicians about their plans for the area would be a pretty good indication.

Hey Scott, what kind of time frame are you looking at for the paint job?

What are you looking to have done?

Is the range and water heater gas powered? If not, a multizone minisplit would be a great idea.

Hey Matt,

What sort of scale do you anticipate this project being? A complete tear-down to the studs? I know it's pretty tough times to a find a decent contractor here at the minute, most I know are slammed with work.

Hey Matt, and Happy New Year. 

I'm presently a facilities engineer by trade, who does some construction and maintenance for landlords on the side, hoping to get back into the private real estate game. I used to be a landlord and flipper in New Zealand until a couple of years ago when I liquidated my portfolio and moved out here to Pittsburgh. I'm just buying my time and making some connections while I build my credit history again - worst part about moving country haha! I'm always down to chat to people about REI, especially in the Pittsburgh market.

Hey Kris, How much work are you looking to get done?
