Lehigh Valley Investing (Bethlehem)

Wondering which areas in the Leigh Valley people are interested in and have had success with - I've been looking at Bethlehem, PA which seems like a pretty good option with the surrounding amenities and lower prices. Allentown, PA seems like it's already a pretty developed, hot market. Anyone have any experience/wisdom to share with rentals in Bethlehem?

@Kristin Caras

Hey Kristin- I just started investing in the Lehigh Valley after a few years investing in suburban Philadelphia about an hour south, and there are definitely deals around. When I was in town, I wanted to focus my search on the developing area surrounding the PPL center in Allentown as a potential for future growth in rents and value.

I picked up a renovated but vacant triplex for $175K at 4th and and W Turner that needed $10K of work and is now listed for rent. I can recommend some people in the area as I’m pleased with the team I have in place now.

Good luck!

Christian
