Bethlehem PA

Is Bethlehem PA worth investing in? I don't see a big job market or employment versus NJ. Is the population expected to grow or are people migrating from PA to a stronger financial district or another area to retire??

This is a super late response considering when the first post was written, but I just got the alert. I can't believe no one responded to this for my area in that amount of time. Bethlehem is a great area to invest in. I am biased because I live here, but I own two rentals in Bethlehem and both have been working out. Generally speaking, West Bethlehem is the most sought-after. But properties will cost a bit more. Maybe less cash flow up front, but potentially better appreciation later. North Bethlehem is good as well. Then South Bethlehem. South Bethlehem has had a lot of money thrown at it and has changed a ton over the past 5 years. Those areas are more expensive, but there are areas of South Bethlehem that are not good, cheaper properties, tougher tenants. I hope that helps a bit.
