Pittsburgh Section 8: This Basement Looked Like a Crime Scene

Pittsburgh Section 8 investing is not for soft landlords. In this quick clip, we walk through a basement that looked more like a crime scene than a rental property. Furnace and hot water tank stolen while part of the foundation was sitting on the ground. This is the reality of chasing cash flow in rougher Section 8 markets: the numbers can look great, but you better know how to inspect the ugly stuff before it turns into a nightmare renovation.
