Just so you know, you are in a legal gray area anyway, as the City of Philadelphia does not allow more than three unrelated persons to live in the same dwelling.

I just sold a cottage that I painted the cabinets in a dark gray and everyone loved them - but thats a super trendy choice so for my duplex I’m closing on for a buy and hold, I may just go white... still deciding. 

@Heidi Kenefick, I also do Airbnb/Homeaway, recently I've been trying to do longer term bookings, my first fear is landing a professional scammer,  ex, guest books for more than a month, claims tenants rights and it will take 3-4 months to evict, to much to lose, so I called Airbnb to see if the $1,000,000 guarantee will cover the rent while you're trying to evict them, (of course a professional scammer will have the minimum balance on the card so Airbnb can't pull more money) they mentioned probably but it sounded to me that depends so basically probably not,  knowing them that with things in the gray area in the airbnb agreement it will probably go against you.

Its still a gray area, but im more than likely to roll the dice.

Or perhaps they were venturing into gray areas of the law. 

Have you looked into areas like Point Breeze, Gray's Ferry or Brewerytown?

@Caleb Gray  Just to clarify I am not a CPA. 

@Denver Gray, I'm very familiar with the Hammond area (all the older bars from the college days).

In the last few months, I've gotten this wicked urge to get the heck out of Ohio- at least for 3-5 months during the winter. 28 years of gray, dreary skies is taking it's toll :).My role at my full time job is one that, luckily, allows me to work from home or remotely if needed.

Maybe because of the tan stucco homes, it does create better contrast that light gray concrete.
