Because while it’s not 2021-level demand, it doesn’t need to be.

Finding a great business partner is a lot like getting married—if you choose the right one, they’ll elevate you to the next level.

I’m mainly targeting $350K–$400K multis, not low-end rentals, so I’m wondering how much these concerns play out at the mid-tier level (clean, older units in high-demand neighborhoods).Someone also suggested Lehigh Valley as an alternative with more landlord-friendly laws, faster evictions, and tighter housing supply — so I’m also open to exploring that if it offers a better balance of cash flow and stability for a first-timer.Would love to hear from anyone who has:- Bought a duplex or triplex in Philly and held it as a rental (or house hacked)- Had wins or regrets in specific neighborhoods (especially in 19121, 19123, 19122, 19125, etc.)- Dealt with tenant challenges, rent turnover, licensing, or repairs at the $350K–$450K range- Worked with a solid PM, lender, or agent who understands long-distance or first-time investorsAlso curious about rental demand for older, well-kept units (i.e., not luxury flips, but not falling apart either).

From my research, I see that there are differing levels of detail and support available for these studies.

So it really comes down to the level of risk you are comfortable with.

🫡BP Fam,I've seen some apartments (w/identical characteristics) get priced differently because of the level (2nd floor, 3rd floor etc.), is this a traditional practice or is that the move of a price gouger?

But zooming out shows that’s nowhere near crisis levels.

It was a firehose of information and I can't wait to get the recordings to I can go back and watch them again.1) I learned several techniques when sending out emails on my distribution list to gain a higher level return on them landing in the inbox vs the spam box.2) I learned several things to go back and analyze on my website to help increase user hold time.3) I also learned several items to help with my social media.4) The time I spent with two of my software vendors gave me some invaluable insight.5) I learned some new strategies in creative financing that I previously were not exposed to.6) I made connections with people operating in the new market I just purchased a property in.And much much more.

I am not sure I am at the level to require PMS, this will be my 6th property, but the direct booking is something I'd like to expand into.

They are taking hosting to another level I requested to join it. thanks!
