I am a commercial agent and investor in the lancaster, Pa area.

Looking to purchase one and struggling with the right calculators to determine the real metrics.

Hello,I live in California and I am wanting to get into realestate investing.I am interested in Texas Section 8.If you don't mind I would appreciate if I can speak with you to be more comfortable investing. 

I’ve been seeing people post about the South Bend, Indiana real estate market and have become interested after doing some research.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

You should speak to an real estate lawyer before purchasing this property. 

I am a 30 year old technology(data science) professional who has been dabbling in real estate as a side gig.

We should have a great group there discussing how to obtain Real Estate Professional Status by an accountant! 

Again, a little more than linoleum, but last a lot longer, and depending on color choice, most scratches are hidden.But back to my original point, your tenants will be the primary driver of your success in real estate.  

Market metrics are great but you can not be real numbers from their own portfolios or past clients.
