I know in Philadelphia if I had a 2 BR house it would be viewed favorably by tenants who are seeking 2 BR living situations because most inventory will be apartment style living and for this reason would achieve a rent premium.

Telling sellers everything wrong with their house and justifying your offer with repair costs doesn’t build trust—it kills it.
