Hello - I’m working to close on an investment property in New Cumberland, PA and am wondering if anyone could recommend a real estate attorney in the local area (Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, etc)?

I most definitely 2nd getting the utilities mapped first before digging.  

But like with all laws unless its enforced and has some teeth wholesalers wont give a rip they will just break the law and keep going until they are stopped.I wonder what companies like Great Western are  going to do. they have a big philly operation that deals in the low income areas where a lot of these deals are done. 

Once again, I would read the book ($10) and do my own do diligence before I ever take the advice of anyone in a forum, but I'm definitely getting in, as I see it as a way to provide people who can't or just don't want to deal with the bank for reasons of their own.

Nonetheless, with your current mortgage rate and solid equity position, it’s definitely worth considering getting a good, respectable tenant in there and watching your equity grow.

But I’m wondering if it would be worth working with a local agent for the first one? 

I am wondering if anyone has been and this situation and has ideas on how to handle this.

Definitely lean into the local market knowledge and opportunities you’ve got with your short-term rentals, too.

We are currently looking at a HUD home in Georgia - I have a couple of questions and can’t seem to find a definitive answer - The home is currently in the OO listing period - our plan would be to buy the home doing extensive renovations (the home is in a “Historical” area so renovations have to be approved) once completed we plan on living there full time - it could take ip to a year to complete or longer I don’t know  - as I see it the OO designation is to be the OO for a min of 12 months - is this after the home has been renovated or after you close on the home - though the house could probably technically be lived in now it does have some water and roof damage and needs complete redo of electrical and plumbing - for me to deem it safe - so not really livable by normal standards - but no way it would be livable in just a couple of months - any thoughts or an actual answer to the OO rules
