I currently work around 65-75 hours per work in a sales environment.

Only look at zip codes that have a least 3k housing units (target rich environment) and a median home value of 100-250k.

He seem to be excited about using Zelle, his control over it, while I prefer the trouble free environment provided by your service where the tenant knows he should have money in the bank by a certain date.Haven't checked to see if you have a mobile app yet as everybody has a version now and pushing it.

But you really better know the micro environment  and market around each of your properties in Philadelphia.

While multifamily can be more competitive at times, the advantage of closing on one 16 unit acquisition versus 16 individual acquisitions is certainly an advantage in a competitive environment.

Public transit is much cheaper and better for the environment.

@Ryan Howard welcome...doing some more research on your desired path should shed some light on the environment you're working in...I would caution noting that you do not have capital, but want to wholesale to raise capital...you're essentially admitting you are trying to broker real estate without a license...you will hear lots of opinions on this, but the bottom line is if you have no intent to close on a contract you enter into, you're engaging in unlicensed activity and subject to $1,000/day fines.I'm not saying don't wholesale...I am saying do your homework so you don't end up in a tight situation.Taking time to explore every option in RE investing is not a good approach...I can save you years of heartache and you'll be wealthy much faster by sticking to fundamentals...long-term buy and hold real estate is the only path you need to go down. 

All in all, the STRs are contributing to the affordable housing issue but there is much more at play, at least in our local environment.

I’d then like to rent out the multifamily and leverage, if possible, the equity from that investment property into our SF primary residence.From what reading I have done it seems the consensus is to not wait for the market to invest, but does this apply to a primary residence as well (what about a potential bubble environment, maybe another post required…)?
