Exactly! That's why I want to start getting familiar with sub-neighborhoods and areas so I know where to look once I get there.

Hi Jeremy, 

Thanks for your your first reply to my first post :)

Yes, I have been looking on Zillow and I see a fair amount of houses I can afford all over town. I will look in the areas you mentioned. 

And just to clarify, I'm not only looking for a duplex. SFHs are good too as long as number make sense. And my price range is above what I have cash right now. I can get a mortgage for a property up to $300k. 

Cheers!

Hello all, 

I'm a newbie investor (to be) based in San Francisco. I've been doing a lot of reading and learning for the past two years. I have decided to invest in Pittsburgh (rental) and I was wondering what would be some of the best areas to look into? I'm familiar with the city's history and most areas (virtually) and plan on visiting as soon as the current situation (Covid-19) allows. 

A bit more about myself: $110k cash, 810 credit score, no debt. I'm thinking of getting a duplex in or near a class B or C neighborhood. 

Thanks, 

Terry
