Quote from @Sheryl Sitman:
@Nigel Girard Hey there and welcome to the world of investing! I want to caution you. There is a glut of Temple student housing and those that succeed in that market tend to be experienced in student housing -- it is a niche business that you need to learn in depth - everything from what students in that particular school look for (furnished, one bath per room, rooftop deck...) to knowing how to handle leasing to students (and parents) to the fact that you will have yearly turnovers - no long term tenants for obvious reasons. There are lots of opportunities in Philly. Try to learn as much as you can and the answer as to what is the "right" way to start will make itself apparent to you. I don't know if there is room still but there is VERY inexpensive course offered through Jumpstart NE Philly starting this week that you may want to look into. @Yuriy Skripnichenko runs that
Today is the last day we are accepting applications for the fall cohort. It will start this Thursday and it is in person every Thursday for 5 weeks. Feel free to reach out.

You find details in the events section and feel free to DM me.

I second @Alan Asriants. Talk to him, he knows the area well.
I'd also recommend checking all Philly rules and regs and reporting. You will need to have local taxes paid as well. We have multiple out of state investors that come to Philly with the same goal of a cash flow and appreciation but unfortunately they invest in the areas with very high delinquency rates. You really need to understand our market to make right decisions.

@Alex Bekeza thank you for the tag.
I invest in Philly only and buy and hold only, no flips. And we do manage properties here in Philly as well. Feel free to connect.
Cheers,

I’m in the same boat—currently looking for a new broker as well. I need someone who can shop around with multiple carriers and offer a range of options, including General Liability under a business entity and Builders Risk policies. Over the past year, I’ve seen significant rate increases, and several providers either pulled out of the market entirely or chose not to renew my policies. If anyone has a broker who’s still delivering solid coverage and competitive pricing, I’d love a recommendation.
