The Harrisburg meetup is worth checking out if you are looking for more local investing knowledge.  http://www.meetup.com/LIMG-Harrisburg/  

It's the 4th Thurs of the month, @7PM at the Red Lion Hotel (4751 Lindle Rd, Harrisburg, PA).  Super knowledgeable crowd -- where you can get a good cross section of advice.  Come say hello if you attend.

We own a bunch and manage a bunch of properties in Berks county, both in the city and the surrounding county.  Everyone really hates on the city of Reading.  But personally -- we find it to be a great place to invest -- conditional on being really strict about evictions and doing a good credit check.  Rent is lower of course... but we still are happy with our returns.   

In terms of contractors -- we have a bunch of contractors that we'd recommend.  It's taken us some time to work through some bad ones.. but we're fairly happy now with who we use.   Send me a direct note and I'd be happy to go over stuff in more specific details with either of you guys.

Tax sales never cease to amaze me of all the random complexities. 

Short answer to your question --- in general a property will first go to the Upset sale.  If it isn't bought and taxes aren't paid, it moves to the Judicial tax sale the next year.  If it isn't bought there, it moves to the repository.  

We've done a pretty significant amount of investing in multi-unit properties in Berks county and manage over 100 units in the county for other investors.  Shoot me an email --- would be happy to catch up at some point.

I've been reading this site for 5 years and finally decided to be an active member of the community.  This blog has literally saved us tens of thousands of dollars each year.  Thank you so much to all the amazing bloggers and writers on the site.  We manage hundreds of properties across Central PA (Lancaster, York, Lebanon, Reading, Harrisburg) and are super excited to get to know more investors to hopefully help save you money and keep learning along the way!  

Welcome Chris to Lancaster real estate investing!  We agree, Lancaster market is a great place to invest right now.  Let us know if we can help at all, we are headquartered in Lancaster and work with hundreds of investors to help manage their properties.

We have a rent estimator on our website .  We built it ourselves.... specifically for CentralPA.  We are a property management company and wanted to build an easy way to figure out the rent based on all our local data.  Let us know what you think, or if we can help you in anyway with your properties!
