Hi Mark! I don’t personally invest in Fayette county, but I have many clients who do. I’d be happy to connect! Feel free to reach out.

David,

A few additional markets to consider in that price point that are just outside the city are Avalon, Penn Hills/Verona, Brookline (might be just above budget, but may find something), Swissvale. I’d consider looking a bit further outside the city though as the price points are lower for what is often “better” neighborhoods.

Pittsburgh is a fantastic market for out of state investors. We have a decent amount of small multi family compared to a lot of the markets that you mentioned, and are far more affordable than the likes of Phoenix, Raleigh, Austin, etc.

Over the years, I have helped many people from the Bay Area find property here is western Pa! I’d be happy to connect you with some of them if you are interested…maybe they could share their experiences here with you!

@Tyler Fitzpatrick Hi Tyler! Pittsburgh is a great market to house hack and the numbers/types of properties you are referencing is generally a sweet spot for this type of thing. I house hacked my first home here and have many clients who have successfully done so in the past (even a few who are currently under contract and moving to the area as soon as we close). Some areas that may be worth monitoring around here in that price point are Beechview, Brookline, Carnegie, Verona, Bellevue/Avalon, and more.

Hi Cameron…are you looking to do fox and flips? BRRR?

@Michael Estacion Pittsburgh would fit what you are looking for perfectly. With 45k, you have the option of a single family rental in a B type area or even a small multi unit. Which you prefer will depend on your risk tolerance, cash flow expectations, etc. Let me know if you’d like to chat further, I’d be glad to have a conversation about some potential neighborhoods/types of properties that would work for you.

Welcome to Pittsburgh! I agree with Abdul that it is wise to analyze by neighborhood as opposed to zip code in Western Pa. 15221 is a perfect example as it covers a lot of types of neighborhoods with different pros and cons. You’ve got regent square, historically one of the best places in the city to live, but exorbitant taxes. You’ve got East Hills with higher crime rates and far lower price points. As others have said, Forest Hills/Braddock Hills probably falls somewhere in the middle and may be more of what you are looking for based on your posts. 

Hello Ranya! Please send me details…I may have buyers who are interested.

Hi Karin...where are the properties located exactly?

Hey Weston! Congrats on making the jump into REI. It's a great thing that you are willing to put a little work into a property, as that will open up way more opportunities for you! I'm not sure what's going on in other cities, but I know around Western PA it still very much feels like a seller's market. Properties that are totally turnkey are going fast!
