My name is Mike Leo and like the title says I am from Pittsburgh, PA and new to real estate investing and BiggerPockets as well.

And we are in Pittsburgh PA (should have mentioned that before).  

Both concepts start small, with less than $200,000 needed for seed funding, and have 90- to 180-day investment-to-market operation turnaround times.I’ve been considering memberships, crowdfunding, or just seeking a single investor, or maybe two.

Purchase price: $120,000 Cash invested: $95,000 We fund 4-6 private hard money loans in Pittsburgh every month.

I have yet to see D class work for any out of state investor that is more hands off.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Pittsburgh.

I need it to tell me the condition of all the sewer lines in every house in Pittsburgh.

Hey Cameron,Definitely think about Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. 

With that said, a friend in Pittsburgh uses Zillow all the time and doesn't seem to have any issues.

@Andy OkamotoOne cautionary note: if your idea of "cash flow" is $10K in net operating income, $120K before taxes in your pocket every year off your rental property, well, if it happens to you in 10 years, it will be a low-probability event with a lot of lucky breaks and eventually will likely ruin your life when you make a misstep because you assumed your lucky break was the norm.If you're serious about moving out here, at least look at the Pittsburgh area and its proximity to Carnegie Mellon (tech) and UPMC (health care).
