@Daniel GrantzRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

What this leads to is higher purchase prices but also higher rents in these areas. 

I think if you just attend any group, you'll find investors that purchase remote and local and you'll be able to learn.

I recently purchased a second foreclosure property, another condo on the east side, and am looking forward to flipping this one. 

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.

And I don't think anyone else will be able to get a loan if you decide to sell it in the future - which obviously impacts its value.Yes, you can do Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA loans to purchase existing or new manufactured homes. 

i want to be on a team and work with others and purchase subto deals.

In Columbus Ohio, you can still find deals that hit the 1% rule anywhere from $120-180k purchase price.

I have seen loan products that will let you purchase a mixed use property to live in the residential unit, but that is a specific product and you should consult and expert to see the best option for you and your cash on hand.  

If this effort gains traction, it could fundamentally reshape the U.S. mortgage market, impacting financing options for real estate investors nationwide.The Role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in Housing FinanceFannie Mae (Federal National Mortgage Association) and Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) are government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that purchase mortgages from banks and lenders, package them into mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and sell them to investors.
