I'm trying to find a meetup as well.  I'll be following this thread.  I have to properties in Pittsburgh myself and I'm from CA. 

Would anyone have any good contact for Landscapers in Pittsburgh?  Sooooo hard to find anyone. They would either not pick up my phone calls, or if they did would never show up to a scheduled meeting.   

Thanks in advance. 

Would anyone here have a good Loan broker that they would recommend in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania?

Thank you in advance

Quick update. 

Put in a couple of offers out in Pittsburgh.  Lost one offer for a Duplex, wished I had offered a little higher than asking price. Lesson learned on that one. The numbers looked really good even if I offered a little bit above asking. I shouldn't have tried to get a discount lol. 

However, I was hard to find a good multifamily in a good area while having a good cash flow that's worth it for me from out of state. Was a bit scared since being my first investment purchase? 

I did however got an accepted offer recently for a Single-Family Home and should be closing by the end of Nov if all goes well.  

This Single Family Home will give me a decent cash flow. not an amazing cash flow, but good enough for me to get my feet wet and learn the process and the city. 

The Single Family Home was a lot cheaper than the Duplex which helped ease my worries a bit. 

@Gary Swank was the Agent that helped me the whole way. . He walked me through everything and advised me on which areas are bad and which are really good.  What a great Agent!!  Hoping this will be one of many. 

@Nathan Gesner   I just finished reading" Long Distance Real Estate Investing " by David Greene.  And now this awesome checklist. Thank you so much. 

Would anyone have any good recommendations for a Property Management company out in Pittsburgh,PA.

Thanks in advance. 

@Alon Rokach i’ve Been doing a lot of research about Pittsburgh everything seems to be good so far.  I’m flying out there on the 12th of this month to get a feel of the city.

Gary has been helping also.  I’ll be investing there for sure.  It will be my first investment so it’s a bit scary as my first investment will be out of state.

I read all the books I can read, so I guess it’s time to put it to the test hahah wish me luck.

that looks great!!

@Alex Deacon thank you so much. I'm planning a trip there in about to 2 weeks just to get a feel of the area. Going to be driving around a  lot that weekend. LOL.

Any suggestions on where I should start? 

I think I have narrowed it down to Pittsburgh.   it's so hard to find anything in Cali.  

Any advice in Pittsburgh? 

Are there any agents out in Pittsburgh that anyone can recommend?

Anything to watch for in Pittsburgh when looking for a rental?  Since the weather is so much different from California.
