Montgomery County, and specifically the four cities / census areas, were dubbed “DNA Alley” by Time Magazine due to the massive concentration of Biotech and Life Sciences employers (public and private) located along Rockville Pike and I-270.

Because we charge by the bed, returns are significantly higher than market rental rates, even when considering our rent covers ALL housing costs ex food.With today's opioid epidemic rampaging across the US, there is a massive need for well run transitional living facilities everywhere, but it is easy for good intentions to sour when the houses are not run properly.  

In her case, my Seller still came out ahead and was happy.I know it sounds weird but I would actually consider joining the board and impose a loan on the complex, get this work done, and then impose a massive special assessment to cover it.

Judging by that alone, and then taking into account the massive demand we have across all markets and property types in this area right now, as well as the growth projections for this area, it's easy to see how demand is currently far outweighing supply, and it's likely to remain this way for years to come 

Inflation will come down a lot more if we get a Recession.10yr yield = risk of inflation change + risk of GDP growth change10yr yield rose from September 18th from 3.6 to 4.8 not due to rising risk of inflation but due to FED cuts stimulating GDP growth in a falling inflation environment10 yr yield falling since January 14th from 4.8 to 4.0 now due to massive fall in expected GDP growth (Atlanta FedNow at -3.7% for 1st quarter down from +2%) and this is believed by most economists to be due to anticipation of Trump Tariffs crippling global trade, despite their increasing of inflation which would increase yieldsSo, recession or Trump-Cession is the fear.

From my very own experience with a tenant in Barrie evicting a bad tenant can be almost impossible in the current broken system.my tenant threaten the tenant from the other unit in my house, was violent ,police was called to the house because of him almost weekly, he stopped paying rent , dealing drugs, caused massive damage  etc. on top of that another drug dealer he brought to the house kidnapped a women into the house until a swat police force was called  and even all of that wasn't enough for the judge to evict him...

.)- I’ll be using a conventional loan (20% down) since moving frequently isn’t feasible right now — though I do plan to explore FHA + house hacking down the line when I’m more flexible- My goal is for the rents to fully cover the mortgage — I’m not looking for massive cash flow right away, but I’d like the asset to carry itself and grow equity over time- I’ve looked into other markets (like Pittsburgh) for better cash flow, but Philly feels like a stronger long-term play, especially with the right locationWould love to hear from anyone who has:- Bought a small multi in Philly and house hacked (or held as a rental)- Had wins or regrets in specific ZIP codes or neighborhoods (19123, 19121, 19122, 19125, 19133, etc.)- Dealt with tough tenants, repairs, turnover, or management headaches- Worked with a solid agent, lender, or PM who understands rental investingAlso curious how the rental demand holds up for clean but older units in central areas — the kind of property that may not be shiny-new but still rents easily (like what we often see in NYC).If you’re local, investing in Philly, or just like helping newer investors build confidence, I’d love to connect and learn from your experience.Thanks so much in advance!
