Upcoming trip to Allentown - Looking for advice and contacts!

[Matthew W.]

Hello Pennsylvania Investors,

I'm planning a day trip to the Lehigh Valley area within the next two weeks. Specifically, I'm considering investing in Allentown rental properties, and I wanted to drive around, see places, and get a feel for the city.

I'd like to chat with some of you before my trip, and I think it would be great to meet face-to-face with anyone who'd like to grab a cup of coffee, or a beer (or both!). 

Any areas that are a must see? Any areas that I should absolutely avoid? I'm combing my way through all the posts in the sub-forums here to see what others have said - but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask again. Recommendations to brokers, property management companies, wholesalers, etc, area all welcome.

Anyone interested in talking/meeting?
