I own/operate over 150 units in Pittsburgh and you can find every sort of real estate investment play here.

I’m a fairly new investor, currently with only one STR/MTR duplex in Indiana, and I’m looking to develop new skills in order to improve my personal income to help expedite a second rental investment.I am a touring musician, and also have 5+ years of bookkeeping experience for one of my small businesses, and I run the books for my one duplex as well.

That said, expect to deal with a fair amount of fluff leads.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

Of course you had to be a fairly high volume closer like we were.. u cant just be a one off investor.

hold some of that initial 100,000$ for reserves. if you spend it all and something goes wrong you wont have time to accumulate profit the first year to really afford to fix anything. then you'd be dependent on personal income or another loan to fix the issue if one arose. play it slow and safe at first while you figure out the game and take some initial hard knocks that are bound to come. 

Of course, I had learned to play by the rules a little better by then. :)

Fair callout.

After contacting four insurance agents, I've been consistently told that I need to purchase two separate policies: one for standard coverage and another for liability.The only option presented to me is the California Fair Plan, which offers limited coverage.

I am fairly new to MTR and was curious what vacancy and lead times tend to look like around this time of year?
