Just recently moved to the Pittsburgh area, looking to purchase some multi-family properties for cash flow.
I am specifically looking for a realtor who has experience with investors, as well as other team members (property management, local bankers, contractors, etc) to help us navigate Pittsburgh.
Any tips, advice, or recommendations, would be greatly appreciated

I new to Real Estate investing, and I would like to give credit to BP for teaching me all I know. I have recently purchased my first property in Pittsburgh using my VA loan in order to learn the process with little to no money down on the deal. The deal I purchased was a 3 bedroom town home for a purchase price of $95k, and an ARV of $135. Before I pulled the trigger I found myself in the "Analysis Paralysis" phase of investing. I found my calm when I just went with my gut. Now that I'm about to close on this deal (23JUN17), I'm looking for my next deal. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I started developing a small team of investors amongst my military coworkers. I have no idea how to structure a partnership deal, so I'm looking for a mentor in the Pittsburgh area willing to share some insight.
Thank you BP for the information and feedback
