Good luck, its a wild world out there.

However, using that same radius in the inner city of Philadelphia will not work, prices can very wildly from one block or street to another. 2.

Our experience has been there are far fewer issues with the International Students - no wild parties/damage, only once has a roomer been late with rent.

Been a wild and fun ride.

Problem is, gurus and the ignorant or scared middleman who can't explain what's going on has found a short cut, by deceiving the seller into thinking that the middleman is actually buying the property with some wild lie or story about "getting a partner" to approve the deal or some other story.

Do some reading in the finance forums here, financing has changed and it's not the Wild West anymore.

Called predatory dealing.No, this is no longer the wild west where you get what you can get some fool to agree to, might do that in a shoe store, but not in real estate.Obviously you've never been to court over a real estate transaction where some owner cried foul of misleading valuations.

So, it's been a wild and scary, although a very interesting and surprisingly fun experience! 

Your current rent is much more appropriate, though still by no means the cheapest for a house of that sort.You were wildly overpriced, in my opinion.

@Trevon PeraccaI am not a Lawyer, but the internet is a bit of the wild west when it comes to laws.
