Welcome to the inaugural edition of our real estate and lending newsletter.

This site is a free forum for real estate buyers, sellers, lenders, investors, rehabbers and anybody else who is interested in the real estate business. We want to create a place where properties, ideas and opportunities can be freely exchange among informed and ethical entrepreneurs.

Many years ago, I joined a national service organization called Rotary International. I believe that the credo of that group is the best guide to having an honorable and successful life and business.

“Of the things we think, say or do:

1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it develop GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? “

This site is dedicated to those concepts.

The Website Features
We are a member of the West Penn Multi-List so you can access virtually all of the properties being sold through realtors in western Pennsylvania. Use it to look-up properties. You can also have it keep an eye on the market, and notify you when a new property comes on the market that fits your requirements. If you buy a property listed through a realtor, we can obtain rebates and discounts for you.
Search the MLS

There is a section for Special Properties that come with unconventional financing or other features. You can use this section to find properties to buy or sell that are not listed on the West Penn Multi-List. We invite you to post your “Special Situation” properties here for free.
Special Situation Properties

We have included a section where you can advertise for a tenant or a Lease-Purchase or other types of creative financing.
Rentals & Rent-to-Own

We are collecting information about local banks, mortgage companies and rehab lenders who can help you buy and rehab properties. It is now possible to make a single application that will be submitted to multiple rehab lenders who will compete for your business without harming your credit rating.

It is our hope that this site will grow and evolve with the assistance of its participants, the members of the local real estate and finance community.

Please feel free to call me or Pat at 724 861 4900 if you have any comments or questions or if you have something to contribute to the community and the site.
