Philly is your best bet. 

Based on the numbers, I am willing to bet this is located in 38126, 38106 or 38112.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

I wish them the best of luck, but I'll bet the execution of that business plans goes sideways and in then end the proforma gets trashed. 

Rooming houses usually don't get to take advantage of sporting events, concerts, festivals that usually result in spikes in rental fees and more profits ( and glory) that AirBnb and other STRs get to.

Now syndications have become a team sport intended to mislead.

Extending lease might be best bet.
