Why Philadelphia is the Next Hotspot for Real Estate Investment: A Case Study of 5000 Florence AvePhiladelphia remains the most affordable major city in the United States, making it an attractive target for investors seeking strong appreciation and cash flow—especially as savvy investors are flocking here from NYC, Boston, and DC.

This is the largest and most recent study that I am aware of.  

For clear, step‑by‑step rehab sequencing, I’d study these in this order: YouTube: Matt Risinger for building science and order of operations, Home RenoVision DIY for beginner‑friendly checklists, and Hammer & Hand for best‑practice details; then pair with J Scott’s The Book on Estimating Rehab.

We also recently completed a cost segregation study to accelerate some depreciation and save on taxes which has now helped us get back the cash we'd originally left in the project. 

Find a mentor or meetup to shorten mistakes, and study comps so you can spot real deals fast.

They do a decent job, but they don't specialize in real estate and they don't know much about things like the STR strategy or how to apply a cost seg study. 

I've read all the books, listened to the podcast, gone to meetups, and am studying for my RE license.

We are learning (I am studying for my real estate license) and researching a diversified arena feom short term rentals, wholesaling and flipping. 

Since coming home, I’ve dedicated myself to self-improvement—studying real estate wholesaling through books, podcasts, and online training—and now I’m ready to take action.
