What markets are on your list for targeting apartment complexes? 

There are several investors that target that market and it would be a great place for you to be able to network with them.

I live in Erie, PA which is about two hours from Pittsburgh, but I'm wondering how you decided on Pittsburgh as your target market for BRRR.

@Jacob Lea-Kelly you are right and I agree, it's tough and I feel that I was an easy target because I lived some 4000 miles away from the property.

I targeted several areas that were more blue collar with affordable pricing both for houses and rental prices.

We're approaching the same point in the near future.We bought our first house in England, and slowly improved it so that by the time we returned to the US, we had some profit...and the pound to dollar rate had also improved, thankfully. 

Dang key word alerts, usually it's the questions that have already been answered a hundred time on here, nothing unique about a circumstance just the same general "too risky" "due on sale" stuff.Go to my profile page, search my posts in the past 12 months, finance in the title or text, wrap, seller financing, installment sale, Sub-2, will all bring you on target. 

None of these properties have been vacant in years and no late taxes so I am not sure why they target my properties. 

Because, lets face it; most people are not making 100 plus offers a week, mailing out thousands of letters, driving targeted areas for dollars, or crawling through ditches, climbing fences or shaking palm trees to find these deals.

I would target multi units and only purchase one with separate utility meters.
