Whoever you contact, make sure you read their reviews and do your due diligence when gauging them.

Hey folks,So I'm sitting here scanning through real estate listings in Pittsburgh and running quick-and-dirty analysis with the ol' 50% rule as a gauge for expenses.

We're making headway in our journey to REI success and have been tempted by "gurus" who want our money...we've been to a high-pressure sales pitch seminar and walked away with our wallets still secure. ;)If you can point us in the right direction or make a suggestion on a meetup group to join, we will take action.

Always do thorough due diligence of a new resident even if they are pressuring you to go faster.You are going to have a very hard time trying to evict for misrepresentation.  

You could use returns on a previous/current rental(s) as a general gauge, just remember there is no guarantee a future investment will provide the same so allow for a margin of error.

They have an investor mindset, and you can invest  with them in buy and hold, flips, and they have a pretty good gauge on predicting returns.  

Now I feel some pressure. 

Spent the day pressure washing entire exterior of the house in preparation for contractor to being addressing dry rot issues as well as prepare for new paint.

"Pressure here could significantly impact earnings and reduce chances of recap and release."

I see a little pressure now but no sign of price coming down yet.rent for sure is down.Originally posted by @Sid Naik:@David Song regarding prices going up are you referring to Multifamily(5 + units) prices ?
