We don’t feel as though these properties would work for fix and flip investors mainly because of the area but we are thinking of negotiating seller finance and putting about 3k into repairs and using them as rentals.

I could use a little help and motivation with keeping on track as well since this is a side venture and is not replacing my main source of income at the moment. :)If you are interested, PM me and I'll share my contact info. 

I mainly operate around Philadelphia and Bucks County (grew up in Newtown). 

Hi @Rick Baggenstoss I have done several flips in Atlanta and mainly always use laminate, since my remodels are pretty involved it is hard to save the old hardwood because a lot of the areas I open walls and change the interior layout are then missing hardwood.

Pittsburgh certainly is a city on the rise due in part to the technology boom in our area, a strong established healthcare system, A Mayor and our County Executive who are very proactive on their initiatives that are attracting big businesses, a strong recovering economy and the continuation of new construction. 

It will make your property more competitive if you're pet friendly and you could possibly attract more renters.

I am moving into the smaller unit, the mother in law suite, as a live in flip and renting out the main house once it is rehabbed.

The old policy was better IMO for the regions, such as Lehigh Valley, that are further from the DIG main meeting - that old policy allowed those new to DIG to get a sample of the meetings they would be more likely to regularly attend.

I’m also interested in rehabbing a few properties off of Salem or off Main Street by the river with the intention of moving into that neighbourhood as Dayton continues to develop.

Mainly things are cosmetic but still costly and from what I can tell, I'm sure a new roof is in order.
