STR in Philadelphia (south phili)

Hanah Choi
Posted

Hi, I am buying a house in South Phili for a short or mid term rental.

Anyone has an idea about how hard to take the license and general process and period of the licensing from the town?

This will be my first STR property that I am investing.

Any advice will be helpful!

If you dont already know the laws for STRs in Philadelphia I would caution you to not buy this deal and start to learn what is needed first, then find the deal.  Doing it the other way feels like a bad idea…
