And realtytrac just had some data showing Pittsburgh at #7 for rental growth market for 2017, So I'm excited.

I am still diving into the possibilities but I am specifically interested in single-family homes and small multi family units as they seem the most approachable for me in the next two years (I'm picturing a conventional mortgage, FHA loan, or VA loan and living in my first purchase); although I am excited to learn about other paths and ideas.That's about it, thank you and I'm excited to see you around the site!
