Not related to Eastern PA, but you cash flow target is a little slim. Even $250 per month is danger close. You need to be able handle repairs and vacancy. My minimum cash flow is $350.

Post: Thoughts on Tax Lien investing

TX is a good tax lien state if you want to invest that way. PA is a great state to invest in, but our counties sell the deeds. So you need to identify and do your due diligence on individual properties as they come up for sale. There is no blanket statement that you can make about a single county. There will be bargains and deals that suck, you need to do your research.

Post: Can I back out of a contract with RE agent?

- Investor

For starters, I wouldn't sign one longer than 6 months. If he cant sell it in 6 months, he just cant sell it. Secondly, you need to read the contract. Most listing agreements have a provision for cancelling a contract, and that usually involves sending a letter to the broker via certified mail. Lastly, why not post it here and see if an investor wants to buy it first? Heck, if it is in my area, I might want to buy it.
Post: How to become a deal architect (buying notes)

Tuesday the 21st we have the first of two webinars. This is our usual monthly meeting. This is a creative finance webinar that will focus on note buying. I have one of the nations leading experts on the subject doing a 90 minute presentation. Also, the follow Saturday, we have an all day deep dive on the subject of note buying and the creative ways that you can buy a house by acquiring the note/mortgage attached to it. Details below. I am also in talks to do a webinar about raising private money, and a webinar about buying houses with owner finance. I just don't have solid dates on those yet but they are coming soon. The problem is that I want to spread the content out a bit so that we don't have a 7 day continuous webinar followed by nothing.
How to Become a Deal Architect, Find Keller Deals, & Money During a PandemicThis is the best description of the note buying seminar that we have on deck for the 21st and 25th. See registration links below.
Lately I’ve become acquainted with Brian Lauchner from NoteSchool and I am super excited to announce that Brian will be doing a 90 Minute Presentation titled “Double Your Profits on all of Your Real Estate Deals in 2020” at our monthly meeting. If you’re not familiar with Brian and NoteSchool, let me fill you in quickly.
NoteSchool is the biggest Note Buyer in the Country. NoteSchool has bought more than 40,000 notes in the past 40 plus years.
They know what they are talking about.If you’re not familiar with investing in notes, here’s why I love them…
● You don’t have to deal with the property & the tenants
● True passive income, “Be the Bank”
● Make money now and money for the next 30 years
The list of benefits goes on.
So what does this have to do with you?
Notes are not an area of real estate that most investors are very familiar with.
Which is a real shame because they are so lucrative and so hands-free.
Aside from being an active note investor, Brian has devoted a great deal of his time and attention to helping investors like us learn how to invest in notes.
This stuff is so cool you cannot afford to miss out on what Brian will teach you!
So, not only will Brian be doing a 90 minute presentation at our monthly meeting on Tuesday April 21st, 2020, he has also agreed to do a full day class (9:00 AM – 3:30 PM) on Saturday April 25th, 2020 to teach us more about investing in notes.
Again, the full day class is on Saturday April 25th, 2020 from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM
The information you’ll learn from NoteSchool can completely transform your business.
You’ll discover how to “double your offer versus acceptance rate for your Wholesale or Fix & Flip” business, increase cash flow, minimize risk, take the stress out of Real Estate and most importantly how to become a “Deal Architect”. But if you want to attend (why wouldn’t you), you’ll have to hurry. Seating is limited.
All you have to do is visit this pages below to register: I trust I’ll see you there?

Pittsburgh REIA is partnering with Note School to present a webinar on a very sexy topic in these chaotic times. The world of note buying is going to blow up with this virus.
NOTE - the location URL above DOES NOT WORK, the field isnt big enough for the URL, so look for the real URL below.
Here is what we are going to talk about. PAY ATTENTION, this is the sexy bit.
Due to this stupid virus, all of America is currently in some form of shut down. People are losing their jobs at an unprecedented rate. Businesses are closing, and they aren't coming back. We are experiencing a complete economic U-Turn. Lots of people will soon be defaulting on their mortgages. What if there was a way to help these people? What if we could buy the mortgage notes, and restructure the mortgages so that people aren't going to lose their homes? What if we could make a crap ton of money while helping these unfortunate people? What if we could buy control of properties all over America for far less than they are worth? What if we could buy properties with no competition?
We are going to cover all of that and more. All you need to do is register at the link below.

You are going to need a developer in the Gettysburg area. For that, you might have to do a google search, or reach out to your local investor community.

Other idea. You could partner with a local developer. You put up the land, they build the house, you split the profits. You will probably have to target the small builders on this one.
