I am looking to remove a load bearing wall in Philly and I am not finding contractors that can do it.

Can someone recommend where I can look for it? Google has not done a good for me.

Thank you

Thanks Ethan!

Thank you so much

I am a buyer of a single home in Philadelphia and the seller is giving me a USE & OCCUPANCY certificate. Is that the same a certificate of occupancy in other cities or do I still need to get a certificate of occupancy?

I thank you in advance.

Hello all,

Is there an online database that I can search the legal bedroom on a single-family home in Philadelphia? I had no luck with good old google.

And does anybody know the steps needed to file the change? 

Much appreciated

Gordon, you are correct. hobby is the wrong word to use. I meant part-time as i own and operate another (non real estate) business that takes up half of my work week. 
Thank you

Franks and

Josephine, Thanks for your comments. From what I hear and see and from family in the business, NYC rentals is difficult to start these days but I was thinking of Philadelphia or New Haven CT as a small 4 unit investment. Will keep looking and digging till it works out.

Multi-Tenant rental advice for a newbie

I am considering purchasing and renting out several small units as a passive (part-time) hobby.
This website gives great advice for starters but it seems very difficult to find reasonably priced properties in my area New York City/NJ.

Does it make sense to get property in another state and rely on a management company to maintain it?

Any suggestions on how to find anything like 4-units or less in NY?

Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.

Aaron
