@Patrick Britton   Warrendale,Bagley,University District,East English are some of the areas my investors request

@Michelle CherianThere are three kinds of property taxes every property owner pays in Allegheny County, because they must pay tax to three different entities: the county, the local municipality, and the school district.Allegheny County Tax: current at 4.73 millsLocal Municipality Rate: https://apps.alleghenycounty.us/website/millmuni.aspLocal School District Rate: https://apps.alleghenycounty.us/website/millsd.aspIf you own a property in the city property, you receive a combined Pittsburgh City Tax and Pittsburgh Public Schools tax bill.

Plus the school district is pretty good. 

Look into the area that invent communities are building, midcity, medical district, and the Mill districts.

Essentially you are just driving traffic online to check you out, when you send out mail or any other form of direct contact. 

My view is that University District next door is selling for over $220,000 and buyers, homeowners are priced out and, its the ripple effect, investors, home buyers jumping into the next area which has a significantly lower median house price.This one sold 10 months ago, however, I expect it to be worth more today, but below are some comps.Interesting times in Detroit.

Something has to give, its a bit like University District where prices are over $200,000 and there is high demand, neighbouring areas such as Bagley benefit from this as it is a lower price point where buyers who cant afford University D will just into the next suburb/area.. the ripple effect.. 

I’m saving for next downpayment and trying to decide if I want to eliminate the auto debt (and essentially “buy” an extra $1100/mo of cash flow to save/invest), or if I should let those low interest notes hang around (after all, 2.5-2.75% seems like cheap money).

The term "points" is a fee that is essentially a percentage of the loan amount. 

Charter schools like Drew Charter (highly ranked statewide) in Kirkwood is a good example of how you can have a poorly rated school district but a great Charter school that anchors the area.OTP, you have to put a lot more weight on school ratings.
