Don’t forget the city imposes a 3% wage tax, while most of the suburbs have a 1% wage tax. ---

spangler, you aren’t going to find parking for 4 cars and a garage in the city. and if you do, it’s going to be around 750k+… unless you really slum it and live somewhere shitty. I had a hell of a time finding a two car garage in some areas, but then again, i refused to live in a lot of areas in the city because of the garbage that lives there. Mt washington sucks geographically and socially, i wouldn’t live there long term. where are you looking? I live in the south east part of the city, great area but it’s nothing like rural western PA. and the wage tax is murderous, a strong vote for not buying a house in the city limits. ---

find the worst abandoned lot in the north side possible, buy it for cheap and mark it as your primary residence while living outside of the city in your current house. all you need to do is build a shed and put a mailbox in front of it. ---

My house on Mt. Washington has parking for 3 cars in the driveway and a 1 car garage. Since I just moved to North Carolina, It might be going on the market again. But I also might keep it and sublet it to one of my buddies, My company just paid the last 10 months of the lease off. I will let you know what happens with it if you are interested. ---
