It has been rated sixth in historical preservation, second best kids museum in the country and second best food festival. more sunny days than practically any city, and if you like that "old time community feel," how about a city park that has has kiddie rides for a quarter?

claiming anyone is making a choice between eating and paying tax is laughable at best (especially considering generous state food subsidy programs).less laughable than before as we seem to have more and more vindictive political types that think in these "get even with them" ways.

If these areas were so rock solid you would not be able to buy a board up or a home that needed extensive rehab because its been a rental.One does have a much safer play from out of state when you go up the food chain it just makes Logical sense the best tenants want to live in the best homes and best neighborhoods with the best schools.. 30k in the Inner city of ANY major metro area is not were these type of homes are found...

My business partner and I have been discussing the next step in taking our business to the next level and one of the considerations was in getting licensed as a broker.The conflict of interest and disclosure was the main area where we lacked the knowledge.

This includes our primary home mortgage, food, gas, car expense, home bills, cell phones, restaurant budget, entertainment....

Just food for thought ?

Thanks again Food for thought:Lots of people think the IE is the place to be since the houses are less expensive than OC.

I also am an investor so I know the industry very well, anything I can do to help let me know.Wholesaling is very competitive in this market you should probably visit a few of the local clubs in the area like ACRE & REIA maybe you can partner with a experienced wholesaler.Also I am going to be holding a local get together coming up on January 19th for BP members and any other investors who would like to come I have been posting the updates on this thread:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/157517-pittsburgh-bp-meetingI have a few sponsors so it will be a nice setup with free food!

I represent these investors and like every other hard working citizen needs to put food on the table and a roof over my family.

Some states offer property tax reductions for "agricultural land" and bees count as a "food animals."
