@Shafi Noss Yes, I'd love to hear more.

I'd save yourself from the headaches and just buy it with a DSCR loan.

I’d like to put as much down as possible with  conventional loan.

A great CPA who specializes in STRs can confirm this and help you stay compliant.About That CPA…Honestly, I’d recommend finding a new one.

Gentrification opportunities, As gentrification continues in certain parts of the city, early investors in these up-and-coming areas may see substantial returns on their investments.I would love to know what people think about investing in the Philadelphia area and if you are an investor, i'd love to connect to hear your thoughts and experiences.

If somebody out there has a bunch of sub to deals, this could create big problems for them I imagine. 

As much as I'd love to rehab the properties to boost the ARV (which was the initial goal), funds are tight right now to do that so as-is is the way for me to go.Absolutely.

@Anthony MurphyI’m an affiliate for both of them and at this point I’d recommend PropStream over DealMachine.

I’d love to hear your insights or experiences managing properties with similar setups in Pittsburgh.

That said, in the scenario you described, I’d either end up homeless and broke or starving to death, lol, while sitting on $275K of equity.
