I completely understand your concern about potential vacancy issues, especially when it seems like there are so many rental options available in the Philadelphia area.However, not all areas are created equal when it comes to rental demand.

I added value to the deal by converting the existing structure into a fully renovated duplex, creating two modern rental units: a one-bedroom, one-bath unit, and a two-bedroom, one-bath unit.

The property’s existing long-term tenants provided immediate cash flow, while the potential to build out the lower level for my restaurant, Arbol Eatery, and additional amenities like a wellness center and event space aligned with my vision for creating value.

Additionally, I have a broader vision for developing the land behind the property, which is currently in progress, creating additional opportunities for long-term rental income and growth.

For $30 they will push it out to another six websites for a month.For someone with only 1-2 rentals, you could create accounts at all these websites and manually enter your listing.
