UNLESS you're trying to go the condo or townhouse route. 

Hello everyone, just started my journey to invest in rental properties but I am working full time so for now, I am just reading articles/forums, watching videos online and trying to learn as much as I can before investing.

I'll try to make house as sound proof as possible but aside from noise, do nurses generally feel unsafe since it's on the main road, more public exposure (lack of privacy), and more dangerous?

Charles,I was researching a property today and found that another property owned by the same person that owns the house I'm trying to buy is being pursued by the county tax office, while the cheaper house (mine :lol: , I hope) is not.

If you are going for a house hack I would probably try to get a little closer to Allegheny County.

This is what I was trying to understand and it seems like a very bad deal for the investing community. 

I have been trying to break into the residential space on my own by driving for dollars, knocking on doors, sending letters, and cold-calling lists of vacant, pre-foreclosure, and tax-delinquent properties.

You could try and call the city, but good chance you probably won't get a straight answer.

trying to decide how much to do at this very moment.

Every system you try will have flaws or you'll salivate over a feature that shows up in other software.
