My personal property is located in pennsylvania and my friends who are foresters have told me I have oak and hickory that are 250 years old which is unheard of in PA. if I were you.

While I don't personally cover the Scranton area, my team and I work extensively with investors in the Philly suburbs, and I’m always up for a great real estate conversation.

You have to understand the market, neighborhoods, numbers, and realize the risks involved buying houses "sight-unseen".

If you have a chunk of money to get going I'd personally buy the biggest thing you can if you don't I think house hacking into a 4 plex is great. 

Personally I would want to manage the rental myself at least in the beginning to make sure you get good ratings.

If you put in the effort to source the right opportunity, you’ll find a way to fund it—even with minimal personal cash investment.It sounds like you already have the skills and experience; now it’s just about structuring the right deal.
