Pittsburgh Investor Buying Short Sales From Pittsburgh Realtors

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Today, a Pittsburgh investor is happy to announce a new website that we are using to partner with realtors on short sales. If you are a Pittsburgh realtor, and would like to work with a Pittsburgh investor on short sales, contact me. We have cash and will make offers on short sales. The best part as a Pittsburgh short sale realtor, you will make both the selling and buying commission as you will be the agent for your seller as well as me, the Pittsburgh Investor. If you can also bring an end conventional buyer after the Pittsburgh Investor buyers the short sale, you can make earn both commissions 2 times (the Pittsburgh Investor buying the short sale, and the Pittsburgh Investor selling the house to the new owner).

Pittsburgh, PA Investment Properties, A great way to save money when renovating a house

Friday, June 19th, 2009

I wanted to take a quick minute to tell you about a Pittsburgh, PA source I found to buy home remodeling material, even furniture, at wholesale prices in Pittsburgh, PA! It is called Direct Buy. It is a member based store that saves you money! There are 3 local Pittsburgh, PA locations. My friend Doug, who has bought, fixed, and sold dozens of houses over the last seven years figured he would have saved over $100,000 if he was always a member of Direct Buy. His latest kitchen would have cost over $10,000 at the kitchen centers. Through Direct Buy, it was around $3,000! Remodeling your own home, or renovating your investment properties in Pittsburgh, PA, Direct Buy is awesome! I have a friend that will come to your house and do a FREE bid showing you the saving you can get by being a Pittsburgh, PA member of direct buy! contact me at bsnyder@greaterpittsburghproperties.com for info.

Cashflowing Pittsburgh House for Sale

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

17 Duncan Way
Indianola, PA 15051
(Indiana Township)

$29,900
3 Bedrooms/2 Bathroom/1 Car Garage

This is a nice house in a convenient location with easy access to main highways (Rt. 910 and 28). It needs repaired/updated. It is livable as is, but is dated, water drainage is a problem on back wall of house.

The outside of the house needs allot of landscaping. The retaining wall needs fixed, along with new gravel in the driveway. The chimney on the side of the house has a slight lean to it, and should be looked at. The front stoop needs some cement work as well. The garage needs wall anchors on the wall to prevent any further bowing (wall has not moved in 20 years, but this should be done as a preventive measure). French drains are needed in garage and in back wall of basement.
The inside of the house is dated. It needs an electrical update, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, drywall needs hung in many rooms to replace the existing paneling, paint, lighting, and flooring.

Comps are scarce, but I put the value around 90-95K
