Gentrification opportunities, As gentrification continues in certain parts of the city, early investors in these up-and-coming areas may see substantial returns on their investments.I would love to know what people think about investing in the Philadelphia area and if you are an investor, i'd love to connect to hear your thoughts and experiences.

That said, in the scenario you described, I’d either end up homeless and broke or starving to death, lol, while sitting on $275K of equity.

Kelly:Hi @JohnP, I'd like to know more about people's experiences with the Capital Syndicate program too.

I'd estimate your cash flow after you pay the loan payment would be $600-$800, which a lender that understands investment real estate should give you some credit for on your DTI.As for a bank, I have a specific lender at NBI that I would recommend.

I’d love to hear your insights or experiences managing properties with similar setups in Pittsburgh.

Since your an estimator are the materials and labor based on facts (i.e. hard costs a labor units) or a guess.Nothing personal but I wouldn't consider anything you wrote there, if I was buying I'd do my own estimate/SOW. 

I’d love to hear more about your investing experience and any advice you have for navigating the early stages.

If somebody out there has a bunch of sub to deals, this could create big problems for them I imagine. 

I'd been working and saving for many years, however, did not feel it was enough.

I’d reach out to your attorney asap to get the process started.
