However, when I went to do a final inspection tonight, he still hasn't finish packing and moving his belongings.

Hi BP as a longtime lurker-listener-reader, finally have some capital burning a hole in my mattress.I have been researching PA (Lehigh Valley: Allentown, Bethlehem etc.), but feel I’m a little late to the game since it seems that everyone in the Tri-State area swarmed there starting last year.Ideally looking for a small multi-fam which I can house hack, but also open to SFR’s as well, my main focus is on obtaining a property that produces a positive cash flow.Was hoping if anyone could provide some insight into how this market is currently faringOr Any general advice from those who have/are invested in the areaOr Any recommendations for specific nearby neighborhoods to research deeper within my price range (approx. 250-300K)Thank you all!

To try to secure/finalize it at the time, the rent schedule was offered because this had been expressed as a concern by some prospective candidates at the time.
