It’s important for my constituents to have their voices heard, which is why I encourage you to read the proposed changes and offer feedback.

Encouragement :D))))) 

I would encourage you to handle small tasks for free but let them know beforehand you will need to earn income for larger tasks.

My Realtor encouraged me to get something that was also "rentable", and he even recommended house hacking with a roommate.

@Brian AlfaroThanks for the kind words of encouragement.

This combined with a very proactive Mayor who seeks initiatives that encourage economic growth have really become attractive to those investing in Pittsburgh.

Like I said at the beginning, it's outside the box, but it makes a ton of sense and I'd encourage you, and all other newbie's, to consider it.

One of the main things I would encourage investors to do is get a strong understanding of how asset protection fits into real estate investing, and from there to invest the appropriate amount of time/money into protecting their assets - each investor has a different level of risk tolerance.

@Christopher Brainard Thank you for the encouragement.

I encourage you to always keep it in mind and do not be afraid to alter it if things change.
