@Brett Stander & @Jimmy O'Connor, yeah I've been looking and looking and honestly the expensive prices dont scare me too much as long as cashflow is positive. I've looked at some other neighborhoods like west philly and some north but most of them seem...rough. I'm trying not to stay in NJ, I'd rather invest in Philadelphia. Thanks for your input guys!

I'm looking for a really good CPA in the Philly/NJ area. Past CPA's I've used suck at business, they dont understand real estate investing, they are afraid to write anything off. I just want someone I can trust to make sure I'm not overpaying in taxes when I could've wrote off most of what I made unlike what happened to me in the past. 

So I am looking for my first rental property in Philadelphia. I currently live in NJ but my girlfriend lives in philly and I've moved back and forth from the city for a few times now. I'm finally ready to buy and get into real estate. So I'm looking to use the FHA house-hack strategy where I live in a unit and rent the other(s) out, livd in it for a year and rent it out completely.

If you were in this situation where would you look to buy? And where would you look to buy regardless if it was not going to be a house-hack scenario?
