@Joseph Eversman I grew up in those areas and lived in Morgantown WV and Pittsburgh through much of my 20s and 30s....my perception is that most of the areas you mentioned (south of Pittsburgh) have little appreciation (and risk of depreciation), so if your goal is long term appreciation, those markets probably won't perform very well. ....either way, you'll probably want to look into the relevant market data on appreciation, jobs, population, etc. to make sure......if you're willing to go as far south as WV, I'd suggest checking out Morgantown, or going north to Pittsburgh.

But getting into a public pixxing match with the AG probably exacerbated everything, where neither one could let their ego go.I did not work with real estate overages...but found another line of unclaimed funds

Glover  I think the public many times does not under stand that wire fraud also is the dissemination of false information in marketing.. and as you can see this is the case here.. not to mention many have wondered how Mr.

I've heard Investor is not a friendly word to the public.  

A little digging in public records shows that the seller is behind in paying property taxes and lives outside the local area so it looks like they are having problems managing things.

I am assuming you are on public sewer and not a septic system.

It's also important to know how much the owner potentially owes on the property, which you can find out through public records depending on your market. 

They can give insight on what the local government is looking for in that area and what public likely gives the least pushback on.

I think what screws up the perception is when people include either MFR or SMFR.

Perception is reality and if you, like many of the posters on this thread, believe that larger multifamily deals are harder then your mindset is going to prevent you from executing.
