Evictions in Philadelphia

[Christian Roberts]

I would like to invest in the Fishtown area of Philadelphia and I was wondering if anyone had experience with the eviction process here (or anywhere in Philly for that matter). What’s the experience like? What can I do to prepare myself for this inevitable situation? I’m from Bucks County. Would it make more sense to just invest there from a legal perspective? I hear evictions in Bucks County aren’t as bad. Any info is greatly appreciated!!

Evictions in the city can be tough but I wouldn't let that scare you off from the Philly market. There is a process in place to evict tenants in every market. Additionally, as Eric said, Fishtown is not an area in which you should be very worried about evictions.
