Saturday is the only day that works(this week or next whatever works for you).Just based on face value, I prefer to invest in locations that borders the county line (21218, 21215, 21213, 21212).

Airy (19119) and W Germantown closer to Germantown Ave and up north (19144)Southern Eastwick (19153)C: Mix of buy and holds and flips, typically a BRRR neighborhood.West Side of Cobbs Creek this one is rapidly changing (19143/39)South Haddington (19139)Lower West Oak Lane (19138)Mid Kingsessing (19143), Pockets of Elmwood Park (19142) down to Parts of Eastwick (19156)East Germantown further away from Germantown Ave (19144, 19138) or closer to Wayne Junction (19144)Rest of Port Richmond (19134)Olney (19120), La Salle Area (19141, 19144) , Most of the neighborhoods that are adjacent to Broad, north of Roosevelt Blvd all the way to ~Godfrey (19141, 19126)Strawberry Mansion from Cecil B to Diamond (19121)Allegheny West North Of Cambria (19132)Eastwick (19153)C-: Mainly rentals with some low end flips.Elmwood Park (19142)Southern Strawberry Mansion from Diamond to Lehigh (19132)Allegheny West between Somerset and Indiana Ave (19132)NE Harrowgate (19134)Carrol Park/Heston Ville (19131)D: Almost exclusively rentals with home depot style flips.Mill Creek (19139)Most of Elmwood Park, especially the tinier and narrow streets (19142)Parts of Strawberry Mansion by Lehigh Ave to Somerset Ave in Allegheny West(19132)Pretty much all of 22nd Street to Frankford Ave between Lehigh and Roosevelt Blvd (with some exceptions for properties bordering Roosevelt Blvd) (19132, 19140, 19133, 19134)Good Chunk of Frankford (19124)F: Higher Crime and objectively Philly's center for its opioid epidemic.

One thing to take into consideration would be the overhead costs of being a cross-border investor, such as entity setup, property management, higher lending rates and tax filing should you choose to have a CPA.

Start by talking to a cross-border CPA and attorney to handle taxes and legal structures properly.

Based on some of the previous similar threads, it seems that having a good cross-border team is a crucial step in this game.

If it's in the restricted zone (within 31 miles of the coast or 62 miles from an international border, you have the choice between using a bank trust and paying the fees mentioned above or using a Mexican corporation and bearing the costs of establishing and maintaining  the corporation.

Also, I recommend Harry Borders as an attorney and for closings.

Key point is WITH a SECURED border to stop the flood of 100k-300k monthly illegls. 

We have a development coming up for approval with the county adding over 100 units bordering our small town and you can bet everyone that lives in our town is upset about it. in the end though, the planning commissions in our area tend to follow the letter of the law so to speak, so if there is nothing in ordinance barring it, they will approve, generally.

For example, my property has a pond bordering it and only a small corner of my lot is even called a flood zone.
