@Eric James thank you!

@Chris John thank you! So I may just have to change my focus like you suggested.

@Jill F. That makes sense. We found a house. Move in ready, affordable, but in a less desired neighborhood. And we passed on it. How could someone make that work?

@Matt Ziegler thank you! I think I am looking for a home run on the first deal. So you're saying that may not possible? I think my agent is pretty knowledgeable, but of course I don't have anyone to compare her to, so who knows? With the market being the way it is right now, the houses in my price range are over priced and still need work, which I'm not sure I can manage at the moment, and the houses that don't need much work, new cabinets or floor, they are going way above asking price. So I feel stuck.

@Theresa Harris thank you!

@Josh Caldwell thank you so much for the info!

@Cody Neumann thank you for the response! I think the deals have been above 1% by a few points. But I do agree I need to fine tune my analysis of properties. Especially in this market!

@Josh Caldwell thank you for the response. Would my real estate agent be able to help find off market deals or is that something I would have to do on my own. I live in SC and Pittsburgh is too far for my first property. Thank you!

Hey y'all! I was listening to one of the early podcast for BP and it was said that your rent price should be 2% of your purchase price. A lot of houses I'm seeing in my market don't meet that criteria. Should I move markets or is it a way to make it work? Thanks in advance for the advice!
