The rate is pretty good though and I might have to move for work related reasons and if thats the case I’d love to keep the NACA loan at its rate without refinancing.

I'd recommend using free trials from the softwares (Propstream, Batchleads, Property Radar, etc) and trying out the filters to see what would work best for you.

Our company has done some partnerships with the state association which I'd encourage you to check out as well: https://www.faahq.org/##

Although There are multiple big projects started to happen: I-10, I-15,.. https://www.1015projects.com/app_pages/view/24http://gosbcta.com/plans-projects/projects-freeway...I'd like to think they may bring some jobs to surronding areas (from Riverside in south to VV on north). 

:)   Hi Natalie, I don't know if I'd say this is your agent's fault unless they are hiding the fact that the property is in need of more work than you want.

I'd highly suggest coming to one of the local meetups to network with other locals that are interested in doing this.

You can also build a relationship with a good local agent and ask them to run comps for you, or in certain situations like selling a high-end home to a friend off market I’d recommend just paying for an actual appraisal.

If you have any specific questions on Pittsburgh I’d be happy to answer. 

I'd like to expand this concept to the processing of seeing through any value-add scenarios and opportunities in a deal.  

Metal roofs are highly recommended and should last for a long time I'd want everything to be gone form the old roofing and everything inspected properly before the job gets started.
