Anthony Favoroso , while you can find decent cash flowing properties in PA for $50k-$75k, the key question is are you looking to self manage or do you want to use a local PM?

Not just a lender who can put together a loan document (they all can do that), but someone who is interested in your goals and can advise you in different strategies, downpayment assistance programs, etc that can get you going.From there your financial strategy and the local market will begin to steer you in a direction of homes available and that fit your finances.

At the time, I had no kids and had just sold a couple of my first self-done flips in the southwest, and was really ambitious about building a homestead somewhere green.

The math doesn't math if you do not self manage.

We also have a strict set of guidelines we use to help limit the number of inquires...they'll self select. 

I have done things with attorneys, CPAs, stock brokers, insurance brokers and others successful in business.General business knowledge, understanding of financing requirements, knowing property valuations, maturity in personal financial matters to give general advice, understanding of the foreclosure process, legal aspects as to liability in leading someone into financial matters, fully understanding fraud issues and the differences in a general matter where fraud might be applied as generally thought of and what may constitute bank fraud causing or even attempting to cause a loss to an insured bank having different standards.
