Anything else I should know when searching for STR opportunities to invest in Pittsburgh?

I do not wish to waste my time watching videos,searching the internet for how tos and what I should be doing.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

In the meantime use the search function on BP and type in lifestyles Unlimited  and I think there are some post from the past of similar questions. 

If you buy in a popular market, particularly in a Grade A neighborhood, you might experience negative cash flow.

New neighborhoods can be brutal on investors with rules. 

@Julie Philpott Franklinton is a very gentrifying neighborhood.

You can create an account and search the information for free but to download or print it you have to pay for it.

Some common names you'll see thrown around a lot: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend you search for each of those apps online and see what they offer, how much they charge, etc.

HI Renee,Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy.
