Its not real complicated, its purely a math question.

If you're buying it as purely an investment property - project for a 20-25% down payment.

I am not familiar with Philly or the technical questions you pose.I am thinking of this from a purely investment aspect.  

If you had a negative experience directly that would be one thing, but anything else is purely speculation from the outside looking in. 

I understand that isn't what you thought initially but 15k is insane to get what you got and ended up with.There is way to much social med. crap that "get rich quick" is a pure and total smoke screen regarding real estate.
