Hey Everyone,As many of you know, Pittsburgh is a unique market with a lot of opportunities in neighborhoods where properties can still be purchased for less than $100K.

Iintoo seems to be branding themselves well as someone who is knowledgeable and will only vet deals that are on point to succeed. 

It's all in how conservative you are in your approach to underwriting your deals.Even when a Seller says they've improved the property, the tenants are still tenants and do damage to brand new improved units. 

This sounds like a home run and a great first purchase!!

Brand new everything else, including septic system too.

The SMARTEST thing I did...was follow a "who" not a brand or company or model or some "thing". 

turnkey section 8 is not going to be like buying a brand new home there will always be differed items or stuff that does not work etc.. age of homes makes this impossible. then you add section 8 tenants and  there you go

The first house that I bought was 17 years old, 3 br, 1.5 bath, brick ranch house with hardwood floors, Andersen windows, ceramic tile baths, gas heat and a brand new roof. 

The Simplified REI brand (you can find it on facebook or BP) are some really good meetups.

In addition to a voucher, we require that the tenant be able to show income at least 1.5 time the monthly rent, as opposed to our regular tenants who must show 3.5 time monthly rent.Thank you for your input.In your opinion, using vast generalizations, is the additional risk managable for a brand new investor?
