Burns’s data.The median listed price for a house jumped 24% in January from a year earlier in the metropolitan area surrounding Allentown, the Rust-Belt city whose decline was memorialized in a 1982 Billy Joel song, according to data from Realtor.com.

Is the seller going to forgo that? 

Think about what David Song said.

Personally, house hacking has enabled me to forgo the traditional route out of college and escape W2 life (I'm not knocking traditional jobs, just not for me).

You know there are country songs with Little Rock, AR in it?

I'd have to get it for a song before I'd consider it, most likely.If I were to assume it could be had for a good price, what could I do with it, if anything? 

For the rent at 1300, you are honestly better off for going for a neighborhood in West Philly, say Cobbs Creek towards Garden Court or Cedar Park- Ideally closer to 52nd for your refinance strategy to snag the trickle down from the University Populations.

People would rather forgoe 80%-85% of the gain than pay their 15%-20% share to uncle sam. 

And lastly and my least favorite - never be scared to simply forgo the 1031 exchange if this is the perfect property and you can only get the one. 

I don't really know too much about Top Hand except they are the other large PM there.I've gotten good returns there but the tenant class is tricky...lots of meth addicts that get evicted and then hop around from place to place singing sad songs or appearing normal but then leaving property damage in their wake & skipped rent.
