27 February 2026 | 1 reply
Hey BP community,I’m a NYC-based investor (currently own in the Bronx) looking to expand into Philadelphia for stronger cash flow and long-term scaling.My goal is to build to ~$10k/month in net cash flow over the next 5–7 years by acquiring 3–4 unit properties with value-add potential and refinancing within 2–3 years.I’m not looking for turnkey retail deals — I’m specifically targeting repositioning opportunities.What I’m Looking For:• 3–4 unit properties (triplex or quad preferred)• $400k–$575k purchase range• Target 8–9% true cap rate• 15%+ cash-on-cash return• $1,400+ net monthly cash flow after stabilizationValue-Add Focus:• Add a bedroom to increase rents• Separate utilities (gas/electric)• Reduce landlord-paid heat• Finish or legalize usable basement space• Raise under-market rents• Minor cosmetic upgrades (not full gut rehab)I’m willing to self-manage initially to improve yield and learn the submarkets properly.I’m currently evaluating:• West Philly (near universities/medical)• Select Temple-adjacent blocks• Kingsessing / Southwest• Manayunk / Roxborough (if numbers justify)Would love to connect with:• Local Philly investors actively doing small multi value-add• Contractors experienced in bedroom conversions / meter separation• Property managers with strong eviction handling process• Anyone who has successfully scaled 3–4 units in PhillyI’m serious, capital ready, and looking to build relationships long-term — not just close one deal.Happy to DM and exchange numbers.Appreciate any insights from operators on the ground.CharlieDM me for my number let's connect.
