Pittsburgh, PA is certainly attractive to many investors as the market is stable and price conducive and growing positively.

Happy retirement!

I'm not sure if you're working with a financial advisor but if you're retired, receiving 1099R income, maybe social security, plus income from other sources you definitely want to speak with an advisor.

I've looked around and trying to find an investment property for the next 10 years, but more or less where my wife and I will retire. 

It can be a more stable rental.It depends upon what you think commercial market value is.

In these areas, you will generally not cash flow that well for the first few years, but years later (like me now), I can retire off the profit that I make from these same properties.Ultimately, this is how I chose to play the game and it is not the perfect game for everyone.  

They find and fix the deals and we sign the checks.The idea was amazing for people whose time is completely eaten up by our employers, looking for a way to create retirement with rental income.However, that is not at all what he did.In reality, he found the crappiest oldest homes ( more like death traps), that no other knowledgeable investor would touch, and upsold them to us for $20-50K more than they were worth, lied about the numbers, and charged us for repairs he never did.

It seems like property owners are adapting to changing market conditions and perhaps seeking more stable, consistent income streams.I wanted to reach out to the BiggerPockets community to see if anyone else is noticing similar shifts in their local markets.

Agreed amigo,Not my style tho mate.I don't reveal crusty dirty laundry hahaUnless it is for the purpose to defend our/my reputation.I have a database full of such folks so maybe when I retire, I'll have some fun with it.By the way, why discriminate against drug addicts?

Our ultimate goal is to flip enough homes to gift a home to a disabled veteran once a year, while also padding our retirement fund.
