Philadelphia - to buy or not to buy.....

[Colin M.]

NYC investor looking to buy a MF property within reach of NYC and have been leaning towards Philly lately. I know the city has a pretty bad wrap when it comes to living standards/neighborhoods/crime/etc... however it has a top school, big employers, appears to have a lot of new construction happening, decently priced property, albeit in extremely rough looking streets....

Any Philly investors on here with any feedback, i'd love to hear your honest opinions lol...

Colin, Philly investor here looking to buy MF in NYC area. I know the city has a pretty bad rap when it comes to living standards, neighborhoods, crime, etc.  however I think it has a college and a few big employers left who haven’t fled to Miami.  Love to hear your opinion!

Haha kidding man.  There are lots of opportunities here and it’s the last affordable city in the northeast.  City is definitely block by block in some neighborhoods so definitely connect with an agent in the city. Good luck
