Northeast is not that bad, (Mostly is senior citizens), Center City ($$$), North Philadelphia is the most dangerous area with high criminal, South Philadelphia is not that bad, Frankfort (my rental house was burgled).Out of all, I would prefer Northeast Philadelphia due to closer to New Jersey border and would not be stuck in the traffic once enter Northeast in Philadelphia county

All the way from downtown to damm near the Queens border.  

I think many/most of the concepts on most strategies from flips to buy and holds apply generally across the border, and there are even forum(s) on some specifics on canadaian topics and areas....best of luck

My opinion is its a gamble.

Harry Borders has some great A to B and B to C contracts. 

There are a number of larger scale mixed use projects scheduled for areas bordering Baxter neighborhood.

Guess if you have nothing to lose, there ain't no sense not to take a gamble.

If you have to go so fast you do not have time to do proper due diligence, you need to pass on this.You are gambling a lot with your money.  

If you're going to flip houses, you're gambling and you're playing with high stakes.

Unless you have a weird property (i.e. border on a cemetery, impossible layout, no fence etc.) then your property is simply overpriced.DFW today is STUPID HOT which means every decently priced property gets multiple offers within 2-3 days and some of them are over asking price.Have your realtor pull a CMA report and see what's the right price point you should be at.
