I have an LLC that I’m trying to utilize for my investments.

So we bought into the idea that it’s a great investment. we went non contingent over asking but just not happy with the way the deal went .. reluctance of our agent to spend time on the property  and when we went for inspection with sellers inspector the seller agent was present and that didn’t give us room to ask questions and really inspect and feel the property to our liking… I am not sure if it’s just a feeling that goes away or will this be a terrible mistake .. earnest money is also a very large sum

@Karim Elahi there are areas with massive section 8 potential and appreciation (19145,19146 areas of South Philly can be great) the areas however will depends entirely on your investment strategy.  

My preference is to always hold onto a property unless you are very, very certain you can invest the money somewhere else and make a better return.

I'm Aidan Kennedy from Springfield, MA, passionate about real estate investing for many years now.

I currently invest in Harrisburg but I just found out about Johnstown pa and I found it very intriguing.

About three years ago, I used Plastiq just as you are doing, to help provide the down payment on an investment property.

I'v began to research the area and found limited info on here, looking to hear from people who invest in these areas.
