Simon, my investment group does lots of properties in Pitt. 

@Connor ChatlosDenver and Chicago's high property values make multifamily properties ideal for house hacking.

With no renovations required, we leveraged market demand to quickly resell the property the same day for $85,000.

In Philly and the surrounding counties, there are some great resources for financing, experienced contractors, and investor-friendly agents who can help with both acquisitions and resales.

For 3.5%-5% down, you can purchase a property and get the ENTIRE RENOVATION financed over 30 years!!! 

Property will be held in LLC.

Financing depends on your scenario and what type of property you're purchasing.

The turn key property is on a tiny island in the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland called Smith Island.

Quote from @William Dorrough: I currently either purchase and value add large scale multifamily properties or develop, and build ground up my issue with scaling is we have done this without brining in investors i have a great deal flow with a good track record im really looking to do more i have the capacity but have the need for more capital in one way or another  Scaling without investors can be tough, especially in multifamily.

@Brett K. we manage in Class C areas, so have to deal with this a lot.Options:1) Boardup - pretty useless as easy to rip the off and advertises the property as vacant.2) Armor Guard door frame reinforcement with temp double-key deadbolts.
