One of the most corrupt agencies in the city. They’ll stick anyone with a bill. Definitely fight that. If you have the ability to go there in person, do that. You’ll get answers much faster. 

Hi Matt,

Typically to pull death certs you need to be related to the person who died. If the seller isn't the most tech savvy, I'd sit down with him and walk him through it to get it done.  https://www.phila.gov/services/birth-marriage-life-events/get-a-death-certificate/

@David Weintraub oh man. That’s crazy. They’ve always helped me untangle messy titles and other hard to navigate issues that larger title companies won’t venture in to 

AC Abstract LLC. The owner is an investor himself and is extremely knowledgeable about the title business. They can definitely help you out.

Hi @Monica Diaz. What are your goals for investing? Are you looking for cashflow? Are you just looking in Roxborough, or are you open to other areas of the city as well? 

Here are a few links that can help you learn the various areas of the city.

I lived in Manayunk (Roxborough's neighbor) for a number of years and am a licensed agent, and own a few properties of my own. I'd be more than happy to help in any way possible!   

I think you are referring to Josh with Turn Key Philly...? 

I had a bad experience with them recently. They were supposed to install a simple door handle and they ended up busting the door (don't know how) and it was a huge headache to get them to come back out and fix it. But, that's just my personal experience with them. 

@Lori Spadaro I have heard positive things about the Jumpstart Germantown program. 

@Alex Capozzolo Stratics Network charges about $99 for 1000 voicemails, and $299 for about 3,750 voicemails. 

@Dan Nguyen I am also curious on call back %. 

I think it is worth looking into. I haven't heard of anyone doing this before. 

@Max T. I am trying to see if anyone has any ideas before I schedule an inspection. Trying to set one up for today/tomorrow.  

Hey BP. Looking to purchase a property to hold as a rental. The property is in all around good condition, except for the basement. Some of the beams have this sawdust looking substance on them. I think its mold, but I want to get others opinions on what it is, and how much it would cost to remove/mitigate it.
