if it was mine here is what I would do.1. walk in to planning department in the county and check zoning and any red flags they may have.2. should be simple enough to see if it has public water and sewer then call those agencies to make sure there are no moratoriums. 

Any MF that goes on the market that is priced where there’s a little meat for an investor lasts less than 48 hours before it’s snapped up.

In some states (usually red states), the laws are favorable for landlords. 

Thanks again and feel free to dm me here or call me at the office I'd be happy to talk any time if your open to it! 

This is a big red flag for me, I’ve asked multiple times and haven’t gotten anything back.

When a applicant has a service dog or ESA-certified animal, is this considered a red flag? 

There doesn't seem to be alot of meat on the bone. 

Yes, you are correct.Being in a Rural area, I am finding that DSCR doesn't seem to be an option for me at this time.

Though, what I have noticed, is with 1 vacancy and especially 2 I am in the red and usually have to use my nest egg to get by for 2-3 months. 

I still strongly suggest the GC--I don't know anything about Philly building codes but when I here big city, it think big red tape and your GC is going to be huge walking through the permit process.
