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!

I believe the "duty to mitigate damages" came from the common law and has later been opined and upheld in numerous Supreme Court cases.  

My late father had a partnership with a family member, nephew.They were friends for as long as one knew them, however later probably due to differing expectations, duplication and poor communication the deal went southIt was an informal arrangement on a commercial property.They were doing the exact same thing (duplication of duties)To be honest i am skeptical of partnerships unless its the variety of bring a deal(syndication/flip seeking private lender) and the other is a money partner (private lender/passive investor).Maybe also listening to a mentor where you stand to gain from the other investor's experiences and contacts (sponsor).

Hi Mel,So I’ve been listening and reading a ton of posts on the forums, but that is basically it. 

Id recommend getting some education first (read books, listen to podcast and attend bootcamps).

On the MLS look at local rentals and maybe reach out to another agent that has numerous listings and ask them for feedback.

Don't listen to the "story" because you don't know if it is true and it is immaterial anyways.

My current employer here in New York is schooling me all about the business owning/running side of contractors, plus listening to contractor and business related podcasts and audiobooks.
