Quote from @Kristian Forbes: Please let me know if you're ever around this area.

Welcome to BP~ I want to encourage you to look in your local area.  

@Krystal Lozano A good majority of areas still produce day 1 cash flow for multi family in Pittsburgh with a 20-25% down payment.

Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on knowledge in a variety of areas, including tax liens, tax deeds, rental properties, and fix-and-flips.

Try and join a few local facebook pages for investors, you will find investors in the area that do meet-ups, dinners, etc. 

Hi everyone,I'm a new investor in the Columbus area with a fully rented duplex and looking to take on my next project.

I do agree that in certain areas you need to focus like you said.

@Chase AlexanderRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Companies choosing new locations look for these key factors:Metro population over 1 Million: Companies require access to a large, skilled workforce and established infrastructure.Low Crime Rates: High crime deters both businesses and residents.Low Operating Costs: Companies prefer locations with lower taxes and fewer regulations to maintain competitiveness.Low Risk of Natural Disasters: Companies avoid areas prone to natural disasters that can disrupt operations.

I would be very interested in the person’s contact information that does Pad split in this geographical area. :)
