Hello all, I am out of state investor that owns a property in the Pittsburgh area.

👋  So excited to announce that I have just closed on my first Property, a Triplex in Pittsburgh, Pa.  

Hey Everyone,Reaching out to connect with other local investors in Pittsburgh and learn more to grow our portfolio and business!

For the record, we are very comfortable with our local market in Pittsburgh PA so for the time being we will be sticking to loans in the region.Thoughts? 

@Noelle MastelottoGrand Rapids, MI, Kalamazoo, MI, Detroit, Cincinnati, Columbus, OH, Cleveland/Akron, Pittsburgh, IN, Indiana, Rochester, NY, Toledo, PA, Indianapolis, and Rochester, NY are popular choices for house hacking due to their affordability, strong rental demand, and potential for house hacking.

Hi there from another Pittsburgher,Yes you'll want to get an appraisal done now, specifically so you can figure out what your stepped up basis is and then that way your brothers and you know you all got a fair deal.Second, take a good look at what you need to do to rent it versus what you would like to do. 

Funny, I was just going to look into Pittsburgh today as a potential new market for me.

but... in my experience, you will be in a stronger position if you build a network of humans by going to real estate meetups and really learning a market.for example - here in Pittsburgh we have a lot of old houses that need big rehabs. and the best software / AI in the world can't help me, because it doesn't know the conditions of the interior, the sewer line, etc. for most of them. 

My name is Mike Leo and like the title says I am from Pittsburgh, PA and new to real estate investing and BiggerPockets as well.

And we are in Pittsburgh PA (should have mentioned that before).
