If you have seen a clip of Mayor John Fetterman from the Pittsburgh region, you know where I live now. I moved here to start or rehab businesses with the goal of 20 firms in 20 years, until 2031. The story will develop as a rags to riches one, much like Andrew Carnegie in the late 19th century, as I am starting with nothing but ambition. With that will come a lot of real estate investing, and here in the Rust Belt the opportunities for older buildings are still rich and varied.

I'm working with a Oil & Gas land man who is also taking a new direction in his life. We are both passionate about sustainability in real estate and with our consumer goods. Once he relocates from Dallas to Pittsburgh like I did four years ago we plan to make a big splash in this region. So his specialty is property title, mineral lights, and multi-plot tie up, and my specialty is tax law and business analysis.

A lot of my deal focus to start will be older mixed using buildings in commercial areas, namely small ground floor retail locations with 2-12 apartment units above.
