I’m excited to take my first steps into real estate investing and have decided to focus on Pittsburgh for my first property.I’d love to hear your thoughts on:*Neighborhoods or areas in Pittsburgh that are good for investment and typical price ranges I should expect.

The first step is talking to a lender and getting pre-qualified.

Also seems like a lot of MF sells occupied with tenants in place so you just have to comfortable with that and contracting up from and seeing inside after contracting.    1st step is to find a great lender and get pre-approved for a loan so you know what your budget is. 

Securing legitimate deals is a great first step.

I would go a step further and ask about their funding times, process, and track record.

My honest recommendation to you is that before taking any big steps towards any new endeavors, please just understand it.

Waiting to see how this is going to be to know what are the next steps.

After years as a Realtor and investor, I stepped away from investing for a while.

Every state has a slightly different process, and time frame for each step, so you may want to consult a Realtor for your state process.

Hey Nathan, congrats on taking these steps.
