Quote from @Dominic Mazzarella: Quote from @James Wise: TikTok is supposed to be shut down in the U.S on 1.19.2025 unless the Supreme Court blocks or delays the U.S. ban per Trump's request.I won't pretend to have any idea how the inner workings of the data collection between China and the USA effect the world, but on a personally business not, I like it.

In a city like Philly, you will face many challenges - you need to learn the market and know the neighborhood and the block and make sure all of your numbers are within reason, you need very reliable contractors, you need a to understand the permit process, you need to be familiar with market expectations. 

(Previous rent was $1,300 but we're about to put in a brand new kitchen from the studs, new flooring throughout the house, new furance, adding A/C, etc).So do we just pay for it all upfront and mostly drain all of our savings, or do I let the rent pay for it and utilize our other savings to get a second property this spring/summer to increase our cashflow? 

But I would think they all can easily run the comps so you know the numbers you are aiming for in any given neighborhood/block/property. 

Most won't insure pools with diving boards or ones without a VGBA drain.2) Include the cost of a pool company to manage the pool in the rent. 

Now I'm banned for spamming and while I'd like to handle this privately I'm blocked from the messaging system. 

In all major cities, especially ones with a higher crime index, unless you study the market and know it, I would never rely on someone else to choose a block.

And the truth is, it’s hard to pinpoint because Detroit is such a block-by-block city with an incredibly large footprint.

Imagine investing in all new, beautiful finishes, only to discover that the drain pipes are faulty and need to be replaced—an issue that could have been identified and addressed beforehand.

Buffalo changes very quickly block to block (not just ZIP by ZIP) and it is crucial that you understand this prior to writing any checks.
