The problem is that we start seeing public push-back from the DNS (Department of Neighborhood Services, they issue fines) and the press: it gives landlords a bad rep - the newspaper does not differentiate between OOS and local.

is it priced at retail despite the issues, or is it priced to move?

You should never pay retail!

Here's the instructions:https://www.phila.gov/departments/board-of-revision-of-taxes...

Typical retail lots sold on the market for $55-60k a piece, an off market lot from a wholesaler usually come in around $45k a piece.

I took title to each in a separate series of my LLC, which is the same as per entity protection as having each in a separate LLC but with the organizational and accounting costs of having a single LLC.In the case of each I carried hazard and liability insurance for the INTERIOR of the condo while the HOA carried insurance for the “common” areas, including structural.This particular condo was on the second floor, with retail and office space directly below.  

@Lisa Eisenhauer thank you for your detailed response Lisa.my hesitancy with titan is that they are a nigerian bank. and my hesitancy with solera is that the are pretty new small bank. given how small banks that have failed in the past, i feel more comfortable with going with someone like chase. here is list from fdic of recent failures: https://www.fdic.gov/resources/resolutions/bank-failures/fai...however, since i ran into problems with chase based on what i described in this post:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1150830-bank-...i wanted to know  who i can go with. so i called solera, firstly the person who picked up transferred me to an IRA LLC bank specialist. when my call go transferred, the specialist was i guess working from home and had a crying baby i could hear. that was my first uncomfortable momemt. i don't accept that from a bank. maybe a small retail company or something.secondly, i asked her if you know how an ira llc bank account is set up and i want to make sure it's set up correctly so i have some questions i'd like to understand your process. she right away asked me who is my document provider. and i was like, what is a document provider. she asked who set up your llc and i told her i did that. she said well we usually work with document provider because it's not a typical llc and is set up differently.i assured that the my llc is not an issue, i do  have that set up properly. it is manager managed. i am the manager. my ira is the 100% owner/member of it. then she assumed that my ira is with solera. and i told no, i have it at another custodian, all i want to do at solera is to set up a bank account. and what i want to know is when you open an account at your end, in the bank account who do you put as the owner of llc. she told me well it's a business account that llc owns. and you will be the manager on the account.and i told her, yes, i already know that and that's how it is currently set up at chase. the issue i am asking about is who will be listed as the owner of the llc at your end on the bank acct.. it should be "xyz custodian fbo shaz...IRA" and it should NOT be me. she goes. llc will be the bank owner.i think i had to repeat 3 times that i am  not asking whether or not bank accout will be under llc. i am asking in filling out your paperwork for opening the bank account, does it anywhere ask who is the owner of the llc and if so, who will you put. she goes, oh we dont' mention that anywhere but if you did have your ira with us then we will have "solera bank ..custodian fbo shaz...IRA". 

@Justin Boyd just saw the location on this, I'm somewhat familiar with that market, we do quite a few retail deals in CLE and the surrounding areas, I'd be happy to give you an opinion on the site if its helpful.  

As far as my personal investments, I have mainly focused on multifamily - but I do have commercial retail and office investments.

What people find appealing about Bitcoin, is what made it run afoul of the post-recession and post-9/11 PATRIOT Act anti money laundering stuff.This is a direct quote from the FHA Customer Service team at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, again for an FHA loan.I am sorry, without a traditional bank statement, we could not verify the Bitcoin funds came from an acceptable source and was not provided as a loan by an unauthorized party to the transaction.
