Hey @Kevin Salamea I've been investing in the eastern side of PA (greater Philly and Lehigh Valley) for a few years and I've lived in central/western PA about 10 years ago.

Yes you should easily shed a good portion of it but to shed all of it will be a lot harder and needs diet and exercise (not just one)This is evident also by the latest treasury bond sales - other countries are slowing down buying our debt which means rates (especially mortgage rates (will stay higher longer).

Everywhere in the country will be different with labor and material rates .

I will likely keep growing the portfolio and partner with my kids on deals to accelerate their path to wealth and financial freedom as well.I plan to continue targeting value add properties around the country for chances to grow my portfolio.

County to country can change significantly in NJ. 

The 203k Endorsement Summary Report shows how many 203k's each lender has done in different geographical areas of the country. 

I’m curious your thoughts on this aspect of multi family, at least in my market & I think this is relatively true thoughout the country, most small multi family tends to be in the city and for the most part in frankly not greats areas of the city (could do a whole nother post on this history of zoning) as cities decline & specifically c & d class areas seem to being hit extremely hard, I wonder if small multi falls into this strange gap where it’s not really profitable for investors but is increasingly unappealing for owner occupants, house hacking types?

I’m 50/50 right now and wondering what some other people’s thoughts are on the whole solar panel fad that’s hitting the country. 

Every state and country are different though which is why it’s important to talk directly to them to figure out their methodology and the anticipated taxes based on your purchase price. 

I’m obviously unable to do that in the area we are investing in so my question is, how do I make these connections from across the country?
