.: Quote from @Don Solt: Hi folks, As the topic states I'm looking to learn everything I can about the City of Philadelphia and its real-estate market.

You will easily find link minded folks to chat with. 

That is a raw deal, sorry you are going through this.Do you have signed leases in place for all these folks?

Why not market to their local folks?

Nowadays many vacation homes are priced as STR businesses with profits baked into the price (with future guests expecting instagram furnishings).  

@Matthew Beasley, not really anything consistent from the folks in the Charleston area. 

I have a GREAT rolodex of folks if you need connections. 

What starts out crazy, ends crazier...Got a whole lot of folks (they're not buyers) hovering over your property on a wing and prayer that they don't have to close. 

I wonder if Mitch was able to get his refi done before a NOD was filed and or late payments were put on the orginal sellers credit report.. this is the real risk to the seller if they value their fico score at all.. on some of this stuff the sellers credit is already trashed and they dont care.. but if folks buy from someone that does care holy cow when they get the NOD notice its right to the attorney.. 

I think your correct though folks have to adjust to the new normal and the interest rates they are not coming down like folks hoped for I think we are in for a run of years were rates will be more like the 2000s  6 to 7% and Owner occ in the 5s with Maybe some high 4s. but by the time folks wait for that prices will rise in the better markets.
