Wanted to see if anyone has experience investing in Darby, PA. I am looking for feedback on vacancy rates, quality of tenants and general experience investing in the area. Thanks!

Hi @Aman Gulati looks like you are getting more activity on this thread so I will copy my post from your other thread. Before I do, I think you already have some great feedback, but I would add that some of the areas being suggested are fairly significantly higher price points, which can mess up your numbers. Here is my other post: 

Hi Aman, do you mean Darby Borough, Darby Township, or Collingdale (Darby mailing address)? They are all VERY different. I stay away from Darby Borough personally but know people who love it. Cash flow is good but tenants are a challenge from what I hear. Darby Township is actually pretty nice. I would buy there if I could find nice deals. My sweet spot is Collingdale. Tenants are manageable (with good screening), cash flow is good, and everything works well for my model there.

Hope this helps!
