Does anyone know the top lenders in Lehigh Valley, PA? Recently a RE agent told me that the reason my offers are not being accept could possibly be that my lender I was using is not a big / well known lender.

@Charlie Cooper No, we’re pretty open to the whole Lehigh Valley. We put in offers in Wilson Borough (Easton), Bethlehem and Northampton. We’re using a home owner conventional loan since we’d be living in one side so we can put down as low as 15%.

And okay, thanks!

My boyfriend and I have been house hunting in the Lehigh Valley area of PA since March 2021. We’re looking for a duplex to HOUSE HACK as our first investment deal but after looking for a year and making 3 competitive offers in the last couple months we just haven’t been successful in scoring a property.

Can anyone offer some general advice scoring a deal in this market?

Is this not the right market for us? Is anyone investing in Lehigh Valley right now and can offer some advice?

Do we need to change approaches, strategies, markets?

Appreciate any feedback!!

My boyfriend and I are looking to buy our first house and house hack either a duplex or triplex. Since this is not just a residence but a business we think it’s smart to have a legally binding document that describes our agreed-upon partnership.

What is the best way to go about this? Create an operating agreement through an LLC? Or is there a way to form a contract without having to create an LLC?

Open to any other advice for this type of situation!

Thanks!
