Hey guys, I'm presently a facilities engineer by trade, looking to get back into the private real estate game. I used to be a landlord and flipper in New Zealand until a couple of years ago when I liquidated my portfolio and moved out here to Pittsburgh! I've had an itch to get back into real estate these past couple of months while I build my credit history up over here. Would love to get to know some landlords who need help with any repairs between tenancies, emergency repairs, or flippers. I'm experienced with all facets of facilities maintenance and renovations, from SFH through large multi family buildings.
Let me know if you'd like to get in touch!

Hey, Josh!
We live in Bucks county, PA, but my wife lived in Pittsburgh for 6 years (studied at University of Pitt) and it is one of the markets that we are very interested in expanding into. We are also friends with a local investor that owns multiple rental properties there.
Lets link up, we will be exploring Pittsburgh for our next deal after we finish our current rehab in the next couple of months.

Hello! My wife and I are actually out that way a lot, as my mother in law lives in Ligonier. What kind of investing are you doing in Westmoreland county, and how do you find it?

Ligonier is beautiful. I have a plan of one day having an Airbnb our that way. My wife and I have a few residential rentals and two commercial. All found in different ways but mainly through networking and knowing people in the business. We are always on the look out for the next thing!

Absolutely, as you have to be in the Real Estate game! I think Airbnbs in scenic areas like that will undoubtedly make great investments, in addition to a wonderful getaway for your family. Covid has made me a little more cautious of them, but this is hopefully a once in a lifetime event, so if they can weather this they will make it through near anything!
Ligonier is very beautiful. Several managers at the country club I work at all came over from Rolling Rock Country Club, and all spoke very highly of the area, and my wife and I got married at Oak Lodge in Stahlstown - they have some amazing cabins and an amazing cafe if you ever get out that way!
