If rent control did work and was a good idea, shouldn’t we start with food control?

Do you have an idea of what areas of the country they are targeting?

so i have no idea if it "could work" for you.it would probably make a good house hack.do you live in CA?

I like the idea of investing in these parts best because while it is a commute I will still be able to visit the property when necessary.

I like the idea but you forgot the cost of the internet service for the router which should cost approximately $50-$100 per month depending where you live.

Looking for creative idea to give them a few more dollars before I croak.

PGH has some great neighborhoods, but it also has some very, very rough neighborhoods (and some areas that are OK, but which may become rougher over the next 5-10 years).At its root, your question is whether you, as a first-time investor, should buy an OOS property in a C or D area because the property cashflows well on paper.This is one of the most commonly discussed topics on the forums; here’s my response taken from a previous thread:Usually, "new investor" and "out of state" don't mix.

I had a friend who mentioned that it was expensive but, I had no idea that it was that bad.

So Erik has some great real world advice.Remember that you can pick a better area in other parts of the country and still self manage.Your idea of a 4 bedroom house is good as that will generate more revenue than a smaller property and appeal to more people.

That's a great idea.
