Some want to form an HOA, because the neighborhood is an older community, where there are still lots of original owners, but they are older and I know they are not all able-bodied as they're aging.  

Our current focus is on finding a multi family property in the Fishtown/Kensington/Port Richmond, University City, Germantown/Mount Airy, and Clifton Heights/Drexel Hill/Upper Darby using the analysis methods taught by Bigger Pockets, and using it as a gateway into more properties in the future.

All brokers charge fees, anywhere from $175 on up per transaction.

You can use the search feature (magnifying glass in upper right corner) to access the more popular ones. 

Whenever I have an AirBnB related expense, I take a photo of the receipt and put the amount, store, etc. in the subject line/body of the email and send it to that email address.

My husband is a contractor so I am open to fixer uppers. 

As for fixer uppers?

@Justin TurnerYou’re missing the fact that unless every single property was a fixer upper you will not have anywhere near the amount of equity needed to refinance out of that FHA loan in order to get another FHA loan in your name.

Fannie loans go for DTIs in the upper 40s now days.

I'm looking to buy a modest fixer upper (not full rehab..yet) that will have an ARV that builds a little equity, but more importantly, allows me to cash-out refi and start to BRRR a little ways down the road.
