@Joe Splitrock That’s one thing I was thinking about, whether it will be a good investment for the long term. As far as job growth, I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Thank you for the advice!

@Karl B. Thank you so much! This was very helpful. I actually have parents and a sibling still in Erie. My Dad looks after my brothers investment property. They’ll be in Erie for a few more years so that gives me time to build connections for once they decide to move.

@Seth Williams Absolutely! Thank you for the advice Seth!

@Scott Morongell I want my first investment to be a small multi-family property. Either a duplex or triplex, which I haven’t found many of those for a price that will work for me. Also, trying to get a loan here since I just relocated will cause some roadblocks, as opposed to Erie, I already have a good idea of the route I want to take as far as financing. I also know more people in Erie and some of my immediate family members still live there which will make this process run a little more smoothly. I think investing in an area that I am familiar with will help me to get my feet wet for my first investment. Especially while I still continue to make connections in Charlotte. I haven’t counted Charlotte out completely, but I am going to keep my options open.

@Roy N. This is very helpful. Thank you for the knowledge!

@Pat L. Thank you so much for the insight! Do you do most of the work yourself? Or do you have a team in place whereby you can call them to handle repairs and other concerns?

@Karl B. Has it been easy to manage the property from CA? One thing I’m a little worried about, is finding people who are reliable and who I can trust to manage the property effectively.

@Scott Morongell Yes, I just relocated here a few months ago. My original plan was to invest here. However, the more research I do, I’m not sure if it will be feasible for my first investment.

@Seth Williams This is very helpful, thank you! So by installing WiFi thermostats, I will be able to check the temps when I’m not there?

@Keon Garraway That’s great! Thank you!
