For both short- and mid-term investors, the market's diversity and relatively lower entry costs make it an attractive option.FYI - Philadelphia has a tenant-friendly legal environment, which can present certain challenges for landlords

I would suggest to check with your local laws first.Most likely you will need permit ( I guess you can get away without, obviously not suggesting that :D)) but possible) , also check your zoning.If not possible to create separate unit legally, I suggest not putting an oven in the basement, and rent it without, or live in it yourself
