I feel like Harrisburg and Allentown preform more like Philly very street to street but Reading is much more consistent in that respect while Lancaster is the appreciation play

Then when I have more buying power, and access to more funds down the road, thats when the magic numbers and true goals come into play. 

We do not play games lie they do in CA or NYC.

Additionally, it's essential to establish relationships with other key team members, including a competent general contractor, insurance agent, and title company.Your agent plays a pivotal role in finding suitable properties and ensuring a smooth exit strategy.

If the deal cash flows and meets your criteria, the unit count should not play a huge role in your decision. 

Are you doing Appreciation Plays/Asset protection/Inflation Protection?

Not knowing how rural your land is, things like sewer, power, fire hydrant location can come into play if far from existing connections.  

Decide which game you want to play.

I like the approach of entering into the field with more barriers to entry and then choosing my plays from this position of advantage. 

Your stated intention of renting it can play a role in this determination.
