Of course the percentage breakdown of spending, and highlighting that Housing and Transportation is taking up 50% of that pie was a perfect fact to emphasize.I really did like the book and had a hard time finding anything I would change or add but once I thought about it a while I think a larger focus on mindset would really bring everything together.

Especially if it's close to downtown and is accessible to public transportation (a lot of people near the big city don't have a car and this fact - being near a bus stop - is important to them).Yeah - it would be cool if there was a driveway - but it doesn't make the deal a bad one.

I can also go into the ground if I need to and it makes sense to.Scenario 1On the current home, there is some attic space and I could feasibly move the master bedroom into the attic, but it would require running and enclosing stairs off the back of the home to get up there.

I think that West Chester and Phoenixville are very popular right now for SFH sales, not sure about rentals thought.I would say I 100% agree with @James Brand in the fact that wherever you decide as long as it's close to Public Transportation/SEPTA (ie regional rail preferably, bus/trolley lines next).

Once you get below $700, you see a very different caliber of tenant.Public transportationC class tenants are more likely to be dependent on public transportation so access so public transportation might be important.

I'm wanting to enclose the porch so that it can be used as a functional room.  

Anything near transportation is going above ask.  

I'm constantly transporting materials, tools, to my properties so I can complete repairs etc.

I love checking the box, "Multiple Tax Bills Enclosed", I get to feel like such a big shot...:-)

I look forward to listening to more of the podcasts and jumping right into the discussions.I have a Bachelors in Finance from the University of New Orleans and currently work in transportation and logistics.
