Temple rental property

[Tom Veit]

Hi everyone,

I am looking to purchase my first home with the intention to house hack. I've been researching the Philly market for months and am looking to pull the trigger. I have my eyes on a property in Olde Kensington about a 10 minute walk away from the fox school of business building. It's a good deal, but I am worried about the supply levels for housing... 

Come May / June 1, will I be able to get this house rented out? There are  so many ads on craigslist right now in the area mostly from the new development. Planning to rent out by the room at 600 - 650 and be a live - in landlord. 

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Tom
