I am in between 4 houses to purchase, gut, rehab and flip. Who here knows what areas are the hottest right now and what

areas have been flops?  I am currently building in brewery town and putting additions on my properties which I'm not sure is a great idea in South Philly!

    West Passyunk has lots of opportunities. See my other posts about it. Point breeze and Fishtown are over rated and over priced. West Passyunk you can get 2 bed rooms that have rear decks (over the kitchen) and change that to a bedroom, add half bath on main floor and you’re good to to go. A lot of homes have tall ceilings in the basement already so easy to finish out

    Hi Anthony, 

    I currently have two projects (New Construction & rehab with third floor and roof top deck build up) under construction in South Philly. It's a good/hot investment area but you have to do your research before investing. I'm sure I can help you with the process. Give me a call and we can discuss further.

    Hi Shawn

           Would be great to hear your input. I am currently doing 2, 3 story additions in brewery town and a full rehab in SW Philly. I live in South Philadelphia and would love to build here. What is the best number to contact you at and what is the best time? 

    Thanks Again

    Hi Mike 

     I live right down the street from West Passyunk. I just cant find any properties in that area for under 150K. It seems that new construction in this are the way to go but no hard lenders want to cover the cost for a new construction project.

    Anthony Testino I’ve gotten a great deal on 22/Jackson I’m wrapping up. We can chat on the phone and I can tell you where specifically I’m looking. Definitely deals for under $150K. Sometimes they are listed for $150-175K but owners will take less. That was my recent buy. PM me your info
