BRRRR In DETROIT OR PITTSBURGH

Dom Tague
Posted

I invested in a house in Detroit and it came with a lot of problems due to break-ins and a lot of other houses in the area after being Renovated or even during renovation had to deal with break-ins and people stealing hot water heaters all types of things I'm pivoting into Pittsburgh because I feel like I will deal with less of these types of issues, but I get a somewhat mimic market in the way that I can buy low and still get high appraisals for my cash out Refinances, but still nothing beats the low cost of DETROIT Realestate. I need some expert opinion on this matter. Thank you, everyone Good luck on your real estate journeyand God bless

@Dom Tague Shouldn't have to deal with that in most neighborhoods here in Pittsburgh. Our "bad" neighborhoods seem to be pretty mild compared to some other bigger cities. The cheaper neighborhoods are more just run down than crime ridden. There's probably 5 or less neighborhoods where I would say to stay completely away from. Most of the cheaper neighborhoods are fine working class areas where you can get some good margin on fixers and rent/price ratios are favorable. Just try to stay in the better sections of those neighborhoods since a lot of them are very street by street as far as what's desirable and will attract good tenants.
