Philadelphia - recommendations for inspector, property management companies, and contractors

Hello everyone,

I am currently in the process of buying my first multi-unit (2-3 units) in Philadelphia.

I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a good inspector as well as contractors (for repairs in the rental units) and property management companies. I am mainly looking at properties in West Philadelphia (19143, 19139).

Thank you!

Hi @Sophie Mia ,

Did you find a property management company? I am in the Philadelphia area and I have experience in property management, leasing and other landlord/tenant questions. I can give you some pointers if you want to do it yourself instead of hiring a company. Let us know how it worked out for you.

this is a great thread for the Philly contingency. @amorette are you part of a prop mgr or are you an individual who manages properties? 

I'm looking to get a pm lined up before I jump in. I plan to have at least 5-10 properties in the next 3 yrs. Thanks

Thanks @Steve Babiak for the recommendation,

I used Arti Home Inspections for the first time last week and they were great. 

Highly recommend. Will definitely use them again someday.

Thanks again.
