@Justin MoyHey Justin, Your right COC is 7% I must have mistyped there, property was built in 1956 interior is in good condition.

I dont even read them.. it comes down to condition of house and price  full stop.. if your market is slow or slower like it sounds the best conditioned best price house will sell. if the house is not the best and price is not the best it will sit..

Allentown, Lancaster, Pottstown, Coatesville, Norristown, Easton, and Levittown have diverse market conditions, with Allentown experiencing steady population growth and revitalization, Lancaster offering a mix of suburban and urban markets, Pottstown offering lower property prices.Good luck!

I would also set a maintenance/capex budget but will vary by property age and condition.

Hard money loans are loans based on (mostly) the value of the asset, eliminating or reducing the other criteria used for most mortgage loans of borrower credit, financial condition, and sometimes even cash flow of subject property.  

Pretty much the only options available are Condos/townhouses or a poor condition single family homes.
