I think my ultimate goal would be to own apartment buildings and maybe get into development.

I've been focusing the money that I would be using for investing to pay off credit cards from school as I graduated 8 - 9 months ago and have been working as a Software Developer ever since.

One of the local developers down here (DC) actually purchased the old HSBC tower in downtown and my company helped them with the preconstruction efforts.

I worked with a FANTASTIC developer from upwork to aggregate all the valuable public data on distressed properties into a program that cross-references all those separate data sources and finds the matching data from each list.

I believe that the issue is more to do with prospective damages against the current property owner.

All of these distribution centers being developed here are going to keep the population going up in this area and will make for a good rental market.

If you want an up and coming area, I would look around Bellwood Quarry or around the Pittsburgh yards development.

We are now thinking we need to develop off market deal flow or very distressed properties, but haven’t figured out a strategy yet.
