At the very least, I'm sure we can help each other by bouncing off challenges/hurdles we've experienced in Pittsburgh, and I can offer you some guidance if that'd be helpful from what I'm seeing in this market based on my experience and my clients projects/deals.

For example, if the ARV is $200K, leaving $10K–$20K in the deal could still yield good returns, making it a strategic approach in today’s competitive market.

How do you keep track of the finances if you have a say a duplex with two different sides/doors of the house that has tenants come and go at different times for each unit?

The market has definitely shifted, and while some sellers are still holding onto those 2021 expectations, today’s reality calls for a much more strategic approach.

Yes LLC can buy a house but you have to qualify and sign for it. 

I'm buying a house that I will live in and am getting a loan for 1.1 million dollars the interest rate is 6.1%. . 

Since you’re located near the property and have already had success with a marketing service, self-management could be a great fit.

love the parma market. 

@Michael Rinde  LH Valley is a competitive market that has appreciated a lot in recent years so as you noticed, it is tough to find investments that pencil out.

From the owner's perspective, if he has a failing business why on earth would he want a $20K/mo housing payment, and why would he want to pay 9.3% on $2.2M???
