It would be great to meet up sometime and I can go over the way we set up our lease options to help people buy the properties which is what I really want.  

What advice would you give her on how to bring the units up to market rent?

What's your thoughts on me setting up owner finance on my property?

@Tyler GarzaYour "buy a new house, rent the old one, and trade up" strategy is a solid way to build wealth, but there are a few key factors to consider.

I grew up in Bucks County and started my career in Real Estate in Doylestown.

Quote from @Daniel Tanasa: Another option is to get a small cash out refinance from the house you plan on fixing up, if is in financeable condition, and use that to fix it up, while still cash flowing.

I was going through the rent control laws ( I know, should have done that before purchasing the property ), and a section stands out. https://ecode360.com/30526708#42037155Based on what I can read, the rent control chapter doesn't apply to: Dwellings of three and four units, at least one of which is occupied by one or more of the owners thereof.My understanding is that rent control doesn't apply to owner-occupied multi-units. 

I was drawn to real estate as a way of investing money I have saved up (around $130K with additional funds to leverage out of a 401K if needed), and potentially creating reliable cash flow over the next 10 years. 

People were falling over crazy to buy anything and driving prices up.

Urban Lot Splits (ULS) allow you to divide a lot into 2 parcels, and Multi-Dwelling Unit Developments (MDUD) are allowed up to 2 units per lot.
