TLDR: I don't see a reason for small landlords to use concessions - either the price is too high or you need a remodel if your unit isn't renting.

Did have high quality photos/ great listing title and description?

Would love cash flow, of course, but if I could at least break even on a highly appreciating property, I'd be happy with that. 

Of the conversations I have had with people discussing hard money lending, some seemed opinionated in that the high interest rates and terms were enough to scare them off.

It was high rent, low entry point area but within 6 months I dealt with an eviction and electrical issues.

Based on your numbers, and assuming you have a credit score high enough and have never filed for BK, you shouldn't have an issue getting approved for an HML to buy/rehab the property that I would estimate at about $370k-$375k (which includes 100% of the rehab costs).

Quote from @Tom Hall: My mortgage rate is very high  and I would like to pay some of it off, so that my monthly payments would go down a bit, I dont know if it is financial smart to do it or not?

. - Prices are too high- Prices are falling- Interest rates are too high- My Cousins, Mothers, Sister told me that Real Estate is too riskyThere’s never a “perfect” time, but everyone wishes that they started sooner.

Saw some new building going on around Lawerenceville with high asking prices..close to L.A prices it seems.https://www.redfin.com/PA/Pittsburgh/4618-Carlton-...

If you believe your property’s assessed value is too high, you have the right to challenge it.
