Happy New Year,
I'm reaching out to connect with professionals in the Pittsburgh area. A lifelong friend and I are motivated to (virtually) meet and connect with those in REI working in the Pittsburgh area.
I'm active duty military and living in California with two rental properties (one in Virginia Beach & one in Pittsburgh) and my close friend owns a single family in Baltimore. We're seriously looking to connect with individuals who are open to chatting or to working with two motivated guys who have goals of building a diverse portfolio overtime in the Pittsburgh area.

Hey Matt, and Happy New Year.
I'm presently a facilities engineer by trade, who does some construction and maintenance for landlords on the side, hoping 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'm just buying my time and making some connections while I build my credit history again - worst part about moving country haha! I'm always down to chat to people about REI, especially in the Pittsburgh market.

Hi there! I recently started a small scale real estate development company here in Pittsburgh, HeyDay Development. We focus on community development and community driven investment. We aim to bring buildings and properties back to their heyday, at the same time providing affordable and middle income rental housing. I’d love to connect and learn more about your goals! Thanks.

@Matt Cecala Love to see the expansion! All of my family is from Pittsburgh and I’m currently in Virginia Beach. I know it’s not a super helpful comment for your end goal but my wife and I are looking for a second rental in Virginia Beach if you were interested in freeing up some funds for your Pittsburgh expansion. Let me know and good luck!

@Matt Cecala Hi Matt and everyone else here. Yes Pittsburgh is a good choice for Investors who either live here or are remote as the buy-in is a lot more conducive than other more saturated markets. You can certainly find a property for cash flow that may also bring you a strong return on that investment. However, if you don't know the layout here, it's best to get with those that do as properties change street by street and sometimes even on the same street. I've lived here my whole life and have really seen a dramatic change in this amazing city.

Hi Matt and all,
I'm a transplant (former military as well) with one apartment building in the N Hills and on the hunt for the next one. I've met several investors in the area and I'm always interested in expanding my network and talking with others in the REI space. Would love to connect.

Hello BP community another military veteran (Marine Corps). Im new to the investing world and am still in the early stages, I've been studying and researching for the past five years. Im a yinzer born and raised. I have been living in Pittsburgh or the surrounding areas my whole life. Besides when I was active duty. Im working on getting a duplex within this month using creative financing. I have the home owner willing to do owner financing for 6 months to a year with interest while I rehab it then re-fi and pay him off. I have a partner in the bay area right now. But interest in building and expanding my/our portfolio. Anyone on here message me if you would like to talk. And im looking forward to hostig meetups once more covid restrictions have been raised. Also Gary Swank brought up a great point about how the area can change drastically block by block, even on the same street.
Late to the party here, but I'd be happy to connect with you and your friend! The investment brokerage I work for has connections to professionals all across real estate, so if you guys need anything, please reach out!

Hey All, it looks like there's a lot of people here looking to meet and work together on a project. I know this is an older post, but are any of you interested in meeting up in person and getting something going?

Hey Josh,
I know I'm about 4 years late haha, but did you ever invest in Pittsburgh? If so hows it going?

Hello Gary!
Is this market dynamic and climate now still beneficial for long term buy and hold investing?
