Nice to (virtually) meet you both!

(Still trying to convince the husband that Pittsburgh is the way to go, lol) Hoping to find someone with experience in rental properties to build a good relationship with and to pick their brain about Pittsburgh as a whole if anyone would like to hop on a Zoom call and have a virtual coffee/ talk about real estate that would great.

In many markets, this seems to virtually guarantee above market rent.All that said, markets shift.

@Cole Atkinson Hi, I would look to network virtually .

The free option requires time and they include driving for dollars (virtually or physical), partnering with agents, craigslist or JVing with an existing wholesaler.The paid methods are varied but these also start with generating a list.

That can make it virtually impossible to evict, or at least, very expensive.If circumstances allow, I'd push to get it under contract now with closing scheduled in 6 months. 

@Martin Grizzanti Hi Martin, will any of these meetings be virtual by any chance?

Together we have enough for 20% down which we're excited about, but leaves virtually no money for large scale renovations.
