Quote from @Alexander Szikla:

Why not invest more locally in New York? You can achieve comparable yields, deploy capital more effectively and not worry about a property manager.


 Prices shot up dramatically in the five boro's. A friend of mine purchased a few houses in NJ, and PA and suggested i start doing my home work out of state.

Thanks for your reply's, 

1) I am looking to invest in PA (Johnstown, Pittsburg, Allentown, Lebanon...) I am located in New York.

2) I am calling the listing agents, 2 agents did call me back and were very helpfull

3) When i call the agents I inquire about the properties and mention that i am looking to invest in rental properties.

I did ask a few how long they have been an agent and 50% were 3 years or less, 40% were 5 years, and 10% were 10 years or more. the two agents that called me back were in the 10% group.

Hi, i am new ro real estate and I decided to start looking into investing out of state. I have been searching online for and inquired on 15 different properties. Out of the 15 realtors I called, only 2 called me back, or have emailed me. I did speak to about 5 agents and when I mentioned I want to buy to invest is seemed that the tone of voice change and they will call me back. Is there something I should be doing or saying different?

Thanks in advance
