House Hack Help!

Michael Gatti
  • Philadelphia, PA
Posted

Hey BiggerPockets community!  Can you guys help out a beginner?  

Okay, this is the home that I currently reside in.  I purchased it in May as my primary residence and want to begin my investing career by house hacking.  My question for you guys is simply: what can I do to raise the value of the house and attract buyers?  

I purchased it for almost $113,000, while the appraiser stated that it was worth $117,000.  I live in the 19136 area.  The house is right off of Frankford Avenue on a side street.  I am above Rhawn Street but below the Pennypack Creek Bridge.  

Any and all information would be appreciated!  Also I have some more photos of the house if you guys need to see more.  Thank you!

I would totally dejunk, then paint it. No offence, but it looks like an old person lives there.  Then I would finish a bedroom in the basement and get a second roommate.
