I am strongly considering Philadelphia as a market to invest in OOS because I was raised in Jersey and I used to be familiar with neighborhoods in the city; I understand things have changed over time, however.

Who is familiar with the market trends and can share with me some insights?

Get familiar to taking apart those receptacles so you can handle coin james yourself. 

*Any red flags unique to the Pittsburgh market.I’m also hoping to connect with fellow investors, agents, or property managers who are familiar with the local market.

However, especially if the investor is buying in an area they are not familiar with, they probably will not know the nuances of the local area. 

Hi @Mason Weiss,Thanks for the compliment on my research, it's nice to have some open dialogue with someone familiar with the Phoenix market!

Get familiar with price points in your market and what looks like a good deal. 

We are not familiar with any of these markets, nor do we have anyone trustworthy there, or a real estate agent.Our approach would be both rental and house flipping.

Unless you use a local professional familiar with the market, who you trust, best way to know a good deal is to study the market.

So we are familiar with the north GA, western NC area.My wife's aunt and uncle are selling their house in Franklin, NC.
