I was hoping to rent this unit for May 1.

Hope this helps!

Many people don't want to self manage from out of state, and professional managers can suck up alot of the cash flow, and not do as great of a job as you would've hoped. 

Either one would hopefully "light a fire" under the tenant to get it done.

I'd be looking at multiple structures. we try to build below the average new build cost in our market in Columbus Ohio which is 515,000 last year and we target land 40-50k and urban core adjacent where we get higher price per square foot. we build for clients with margin around $190 a sq ft depending on multi or single. we can get that down in our triplex it's a little higher on our single family homes because of garages and limited economies of scale. hope that helps. idk Philly but if you show me the area and styles of homes I can give you some more insights. 

Transparency, regular communication, and clear milestones have been critical to making this successful.For those of you who are considering working with private lenders or want to improve your deal structure, I hope this gives you some food for thought.

You can not lose anything and no one can take from you.  

Hope this helps!

They have been the best investments I've ever made, but hoping to have greater cash flow influence with a daily business model.Is there demand for these types of rentals in the investment community?

People are losing money.
