@Marc ShinLike @Andrew Steffens said, for big items, go with quality.

Not that that means anything good or bad :-) But if you want high quality genuine coaching about investing in Philly and at a reasonable rate, I can  connect you with a wonderfully savvy, professional investor who does coaching.

Buy good quality things once rather than poor quality and pay multiple times to replace it.

Professional staging, virtual tours, and high-quality photos can help them envision how the space fits their lifestyle, whether it’s for entertaining, work, or family.To overcome the “biggest house in the neighborhood” concern, shift the focus to its uniqueness and lifestyle potential.

Strong property management and careful tenant placement also play a critical role in success here, so I recommend partnering with a turnkey company or an agent who specializes in these areas to make the process smoother.As for rental demand, homes that sit for extended periods are often the result of issues like pricing, condition, or tenant quality—not necessarily a reflection of the market as a whole.

Signs of this are poor lease quality, maybe M2M tenants, high expenses (unnecessary things like high trash bills, internet, cleaning, security).

Buy quality, if that means every 2-4 years not annually so be it.

If you flip your flooring upgrades and appliances will probably need to be of higher quality vs a rental.

Meanwhile the  neighbors quality of life will improve once the new wall is constructed 2025 Q1 and the denser use is consistent with the Philadelphia planning commission's 2035 plan.
