Real estate is all about getting rich slow, not quick.I'd be happy to connect.  

It's really not a difficult deal to put together.Good Investing...Hi Joe, thanks for your response.

Your response will allow me to make sure my contractors are aware or include some of these things you mentioned during your conversion.

This is where I would focus, as these are the same attributes that attracted those responsible for the larger projects like the Bellweather District you mentioned in your initial post.With your budget I would recommend NW Philadelphia (Germantown and Mount Airy in particular).

It’s great that you’ve already identified zip codes like 73128, 73170, and 73135; they all have unique advantages worth exploring.I agree with the earlier response—73170 and 73135 are solid picks.

Responses like this are good for me because I am pretty uneducated on things like specific loans or qualifying requirements.

Tyler,Within my 20 years of experience as a landlord, if I had $150k and good credit, I’d focus on either flips for fast capital or rentals for long-term cash flow—trying both at once can slow you down.

So appreciate your thoughtful and detailed response. 

Know your responsibilities as a landlord instead of acquiescing to every request or complaint.

Thanks everyone for the great responses!
