Really my biggest unknown is what to do after my first property.

Only because Philadelphia is such a "Block by block" city that some "war zones" share the same zip code as A-B rated areas (Example: 19104 Is the Mantua section of West Philadelphia, but is also home to Drexel, and UPenn (Also known as University City)

The way I understand it, under LA city rent control notice to vacate can be given to an existing tenant to move out only if the owner (or related family member) intends to occupy the unit.  

Rent in Oakland out of all cities match parts of SF.

Hey Charlie-I'm in the same boat- 2nd year student though.There are a few of Charlottesville investors on Bigger Pockets (not nearly as many as a real city, but a few).I'd recommend reaching out to Jim Klapmust, or going to the Charlottesville local real estate meetup.

Thanks for your time :-)That article assumed you lived in the same city and I think you really have to live in the same city (preferably 30 minutes and really no further than an hour away) to properly manage your own rentals.

Hi Everybody,I'm looking into two markets Pittsburgh and  Minneapolis/St.Paul and was trying to find out whether they're landlord friendly cities, all I've found are these articles that were helpful but there were no  mentions of Pittsburgh and Minneapolis/St.Paulhttp://capstonecapitalusa.com/the-most-friendly-8-landlord-states/http://www.rentersinsurance.com/2012/03/8-states-where-rental-laws-favor-landlords/Could anyone tell me how long it takes to evict a tenant in either markets?

Philadelphia is a great city, immense with opportunity and extremely proud of its various neighborhoods, all of which have their own challenges and benefits.

The export would have all the usual fields but the key details I need are City, Zip and Listing agent contact details exported as a CSV or Excel file.  

I'm an Illinois realtor but unfortunately don't live or work near the city so wouldn't be able to assist you directly, but I do have a colleague in the area that I believe would be able to help you greatly.
