Yes, I've acquired some initial funding, so now I'm in the process of learning how to evaluate a potential rental property and needed renovations.

This helps immensely with promoting interconnectedness throughout the area.Lastly, no matter where you're looking, inventory is tight, especially among 3- and 4-family properties.

I think there are potential for deals in this area.

I have a potential flip I'm looking at and I was wondering if there are any contractors in the Pittsburgh/Monroeville Area that would be willing to walk the property with me?

@Leo Semenov are you willing to potentially loose everything you have amassed over several years of REI?

I am looking for a mentor / potential partner whom can benefit mutually from future business.Please message me if you are interested.

I'd rather get started now on smaller deals and starting to build my cash flowing assets base that can potentially help me pay off my debt at a much more accelerated pace than sit around and wait for the next 10-15 years when I could retire my student loan debt without any additional income bump. 

Since I do not have $66,600 in cash for the lien, does anyone have any creative financing strategies that I could potentially use to pay off the lien and purchase the property?

I'm relatively new (3 years) to the accounting world and starting to save up for potential investment in real estate.

I am looking for more houses in the 19th Ward.The areas you put give you a big range of prices, and a variety of potential customers.
