Are there any emerging markets left?

[Chrissy Ertz]

I will be in the position next year to purchase my 1st property in this decade.  Are there any emerging markets left near Philly.  I say near as I am no longer looking in Philly.  My hope was to purchase something in Mt. Airy or Germantown but the recent assessments and further tax hikes have me running scared from the city.  I am open to a multi-family, duplex, or SF to fix, live in for 2 years, and flip.

I will also have a RE license shortly - waiting on test results now - so this would be good information for me to have!
