Im not originally from Pittsburgh and Im looking to buy a house and a very interesting property came to my attention recently but it’s in Crafton Heights I really don’t know anything about this area. It’s safe? Any recommendations of what areas should be a better place?

Very not safe, especially in the heights. I’d avoid everything in that area if safety is a priority. Not sure what your personal situation is but some decent places to start looking might be Dormont, Bellevue, or Aspinwall areas.

We decided against an absolutely gorgeous house there for that reason, as well as due to the commute (we hate traffic jams, so we decided that a move to the suburbs would only make sense if we were near a T station or a busway).

I love Crafton! Very centrally located to major expressways and a quiet part of town, in my opinion! Good luck!

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly.

Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

I'm from Baltimore, and lately, we have had a crazy buying spree, I mean I have sold the same property 2 times in less than 2 weeks, and the person who bought it immediately put it on the market and made an average of $25k in less than 5 days.

I was randomly assigned to SAP, but I’ve realised I really want to move away from this and move towards what I originally planned on pursuing i.e. data analysis, I was already well versed in ML and DL with python.
If anyone has made a similar transition, it would be great if you could help me understand how do I go about this.
