Newbie Landlord - Guide (Pennsylvania)

[Abel Santos]

Hello BP Family. I am currently in the process to buy my first multi-family property to house hack and want to ensure I am well prepared. I am looking to find resources in regards to Landlord laws in PA and Philadelphia (maybe a handy guide book?). I want to ensure I am covering all my basis before things get serious and we buy a house.  Also if you know of any good Real Estate Attorneys to ask questions please share their information here. Thank you all for your help.

I second Neil's sharing of the PA Landlord Tenant Act, read that and get yourself a fair housing course.  I like to use Stephen Williams and Brett Woodburn, both excellent real estate attorneys in Harrisburg.  I know property managers aren't for everyone, but if you are making a significant investment and can't afford to let it fail, working with a PM who allows you to be part of the process can be an education and a hedge against any risky moves.
