@Guy KerenMost of the homes in the midwest markets are going to be older usually built in the 1900-1940's or maybe even older depending on the neighborhood.

Drive by the properties you are interested in to see the condition of the land/building and neighborhood. 5.

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.

Someone will lend on the property.I have used 3 different brokers who shopped around for me.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620, many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Regarding insurance, i would recommend working with an insurance broker (happy to DM you the one i utilize) and they can shop for the best one for your rental. 

Pittsburgh offers investors many opportunities, but you got to do your research as neighborhoods and properties change dramatically. 

The Short Term Shop operates here and would love to help!

why not knock on the doors in the neighborhoods that you are doing tear downs and remodels on?
