Hi everyone!  My wife and I are looking to begin our investing journey by purchasing our first multi-family property, ideally a duplex in the Pittsburgh, PA area.  We'd love to connect with folks in and around Pittsburgh!  

Thanks!

Hi Stefan, you've certainly picked a great city to invest in. I've lived here my whole life and know the area very well.  You definitely can build a strong portfolio here as long as you know the area and the numbers work for you. Properties and their condition change street to street and each neighborhood has a unique vibe. I'd be interested to hear more about your plans and goals. Best of luck to you and your wife as you start investing.  Gary

 Hey Stefan,

I’d be happy to connect. I’m from the  South Hills and started out house hacking and now do everything from small multi to commercial residential and office/retail.

It’s been quite a journey.

If you can swing it with your life situation house hacking is a good way to start if looking for small multifamily because you’ll save so much money to roll into your next investment.

Hi @Stefan Slavkovic, I was in Pittsburgh last summer, it looks like you will have a good selection. Every neighborhood is interesting. I would look at @Dion McNeeley YouTube channel as he has made it to freedom using small multi-families. Good luck and have fun!!
