You mentioned buying a MTR condo.Is your income below $150,000 or are you able to claim real estate professional status?

Hi Steve,I’m a new new real estate investor interested in PA.

Once you go above $125k/unit you start to get into the high end areas that won't have very good rent/price ratios and are under the 1% rule mark for turnkey stuff.Neighborhood wise in the city the "East End" is where the most expensive real estate is since that's where the universities and a lot of the hospitals are located.

Given your mobility for duty posts you can really ramp up your real estate portfolio while serving.Every time they got stationed somewhere they would purchase a property to live in using their VA and house hack.

Noone bring me any REALLY good deals for the next 1-15 days, or I am subject to counter claims...Real estate industry.... get your act together.

I can price and use AI all I want, but I'm wondering about real life experience what to expect?

Down the road as you build equity you can pull it out to buy more real estate. 

That's a LOT of $ to go to AZ, TX, FL, literally anywhere. 

Supply & DemandUnlike financial markets, real estate prices and rents are driven by supply and demand.

Also for me I do not consider this as investing in real estate.
