If you want something more affordable but still solid areas I would consider - Upper NE Philly, Roxborough/manayunk, and West and part of East mount airy. 

The ripple effect of AB 968 could be that fewer distressed properties hit the market at affordable prices, ultimately impacting those looking for a fixer-upper to build their equity.2.

This is anywhere, so I had one house that was a 2 story property with no upper porch (aka no way to get to the roof of the house) where one peak of the property trim was flaking that you could see from the ground.

I would suggest starting in areas like Merion/Hungarian for value-add opportunities, South Linden for fixer-uppers, and Whitehall - improving market.

Most of that is concentrated around the metro areas - Indianapolis, Ft Wayne, upper northwest corner.

Opportunities include affordable fixer-uppers, older neighborhoods, and targeting FHA buyers.Good luck!

Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina are unfortunately at very high risk as well.I think we’ll see large swaths of climate refugees moving to the midwest, upper midwest and mountain west.

It was a fixer upper with wonderful bones.

You can find fixer upper multiunit properties which will in turn cash flow better after you renovate.

Or buy a fixer upper and work on renovating (valuable learning experience if damage not too extensive) during college years then sell and keep up to $250,000 tax free profit as your primary residence allows.
