Pittsburgh
Ever wonder why Pittsburgh is called “The Steel City”? It’s a mass steel producer, in addition to producing natural gas, oil, and glass. Other industries that contribute to Pittsburgh’s strong job market include film, education, engineering, robotics, and healthcare. Pittsburgh sticks out because its economy was able to resist the effects of a recession.
There’s more to Pittsburgh than just a strong economy and job market. Lively culture, low crime rate, and affordability are all some of the reasons Pittsburgh was named the most livable city in the country seven times since 2000 by multiple sources.
This is great for investors buying investment properties in Pittsburgh. The homes are affordable, tenants have jobs and can pay rent, and there are students all over the city. Pittsburgh is one of the best college towns for investing. The city alone has over 60 colleges and universities.
Don’t forget Pittsburgh is a center for sports too - it’s home to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Penguins. These sports teams bring in a lot of tourists during game - just one reason an Airbnb Pittsburgh investment property is also a good strategy. The biggest regulation in place is the 7% hotel tax but not many other issues have occurred for Airbnb Pittsburgh.
