I have programs that require only 10% down for the purchase, and will finance 100% of the rehab.

Hey Everyone,As many of you know, Pittsburgh is a unique market with a lot of opportunities in neighborhoods where properties can still be purchased for less than $100K.

I hope the transparency is helpful to investors.Note: I have received an "Online Defamation" letter from the Blake Capital Group.   

Cold calling is a great idea to get started, but maybe try connecting with local real estate groups or online forums too—they can sometimes have off-market deals.

@Polat Caglayan The majority of investors who become involved in the section 8 program do so because they purchase lousy real estate and leasing the units to section 8 tenants is the best option on the table.

What type of property do you plan to purchase(Single, multi, commercial, etc) and where do you plan to buy it?

It seems there’s a common misconception largely influenced by social media, online courses, and influencers who oversimplify the process that real estate is an easy, passive way to generate income with minimal effort.

Quote from @Melissa Sejour: I am new to the real estate investing space and was wondering how do you go about researching the best areas to purchase properties?

I would prefer something I can buy once - software subscriptions are a nuisance.Something that automatically downloads transactions from my online banking portal and that can be used to easily categorize expenses for financial statements would be excellent.Thanks,KevinHi, Kevin.

This sounds like a home run and a great first purchase!!
