Looking for a place in West Chester, PA

[Jonathan Ruths]

Hello BP Community.

My name is Jon Ruths, I'm currently a teacher in CO and have been really getting into real estate over the last few months, but don't have the cash reserves to purchase yet.  My wife and I are moving back to the West Chester, PA area at the beginning of May and are looking for an apartment or single family house to move into.  We've been all over craiglist, zillow and other real estate sites, but I figured I might as well reach out to everyone on the forums.  Any suggestions on how to find a property from across the country?  Good management companies in the area?  What other options are there for finding a place to live?  Thanks fellow BPers!
