You cant even take the first steps toward an eviction.  The magistrate and courts are all closed. At this time, it is best to start a conversation with your tenants and see what you can work out.

Creative Finance Seminar –

If there is one thing I really love about real estate, it is creative finance. Well, the money we make, and creative finance, I guess that is two things. I love creative finance because it is a very profitable form of problem solving limited only by your creativity. Well, it doesn’t have to be your creativity, but you can learn to ride the coattails of the creative geniuses who came before you. In academia it is bad to copy others. In the business world we call this process “modeling” and it can be extremely profitable.

Imagine if you could see how a very successful real estate investor was doing business, then copy their every move. That is what this creative finance seminar is all about. I went out and found an expert (one of my mentors) and convinced him to come in a teach us how he buys house and sells houses with little to no money. Once you learn how to buy with no money, you will never run out of deals.

The first day is Feb 18th.

This is the monthly Pittsburgh REIA meeting

The address is - 3579 Masonic Way, Pittsburgh PA 15237 (Ross Twp)

There just aren't a lot of the in existence. 

The Pittsburgh market has great cashflow. The problem you will run into all over the state is that there isn't a lot of 4 plex inventory. The numbers get better when you dip into 3 and 2 plexes. You can still do a 1% rule there, and live for free. You just need to expand your marketing because you wont find that deal on the MLS.
