Pittsburgh’s Hot Real Estate Market Attracts Private Equity Funds
Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) May 05, 2014 -- The Pittsburgh real estate market is attracting a lot of attention from private equity funds around the country. Pittsburgh Real Estate Investors Association President Josh Caldwell represented the region at a gathering of fund managers.

Unlike other parts of the country where boom and bust cycles are the norm, Pittsburgh is a market of steady growth. This fact attracts out of town investors to the region. Pittsburgh has never been a flashy market, but it is a market with great cash flow. Cash flow is how real long-term wealth is created. Cash flow investors place their money with private equity funds in order to get a high rate of return on money that would otherwise sit idle or have to be placed into a higher risk investment category to attain the type of returns that real estate investing can generate. Many of these investors are using IRA funds to invest in real estate. The private equity fund managers provide a level of expertise in evaluating individual deals for their clients. That is how fund managers raise money for their funds.

The housing rental market in Pittsburgh is extremely strong. This factor combined with the relatively cost of real estate acquisition creates a perfect storm for cash flow investors.
