Philadelphia Best B Areas and Up and Coming C Neighborhoods

[Charles Worth]

I have experience investing in other areas and have recently started looking at Philly as a good prospect to invest in since it is relatively close to NYC but seemingly with lower price points and higher ROIs. I normally buy and hold or any of those hybrid strategies BRRR, etc..

I typically like to focus on B areas (relatively stable, low crime, etc.) that can still offer a return and up and coming areas (those with hipster interest, etc.) that can be tough for a year or two but have a high probability of doing well shortly. 

I'd like to ask investors that i have not already personally asked, what are your favorite Philly areas to invest in that meet these specifications and why?

What areas should be avoided? 

I appreciate any feedback you can offer.
