The surrounding neighborhoods (West Passyunk, Girard Estates) currently have pretty strong fundamentals, although weigh towards owner-occupied.

This is why most properties are 'bought' with a lease-hold contract of x years + y years extension (mostly 25-30 years + 25-30years extension).Bali is an organized wild-west with a lot of opportunities, that's for sure.

Anything west of those areas (excluding Speedway $$$) will be D class, no new construction/flips, and I don't travel though. 

In Tampa, some great spots to consider are University area, Seminole Heights, Ybor, West Tampa, East Tampa, Temple Terrace, and Town 'n' Country—all solid for long-term rentals.

They are very big on east coast but started to expand into the west coast.

Is anyone in the BP community investing in West Homestead?

Also out west here..

Federal lands come right down basically to the city limits and subdivisions are nestled right up against them.. so you could sprawl there.out east there are very few federal lands close to housing .. so that makes zero sense.It only works in the West from Rockies to the Pacific and select areas.

I love the St Pete area but frankly would be terrified of having a property on the Florida west coast.

CH, EUCLID, Lee Harvard, East Cleveland, and West side.
