Goals:Duplex or small multifamilyBudget up to ~$480k (prefer Lower)$200–$400+ cash flowBuy & hold, long-term rentalNear hospitals/jobs, low crime, public transportation Markets I’m eyeing: Allentown, Lancaster, open to other cash-flow-friendly PA areas.Looking for: Honest insights on neighborhoods/submarkets that meet these criteria.

U know like banks that have long lost accounts.. escrow money that is refunded and cant find the borrower ( this happened to me personally LOL)  those funds go to the transportation department at the state.. so who could figure that out with out a little digging.
