Brewerytown and East Passyunk could also be worth exploring.Big projects like Bellwether can boost neighborhoods, but they often take time to show results, so don’t count on them as a main factor.

When a developer can't obtain subsidies for their affordable housing projects, do they just wait until the next round of subsidies availability? 

I'd keep an eye out for future development and path of progress plays.  

Are you looking to do more rehab projects like this (either house hack or not)?

Taxes on the original gains are deferred until December 31, 2026, and future gains from the OZ property can be tax-free if held for 10+ years.

Leverage your construction skills for flips, start with smaller projects to minimize risk, and consider house hacking or long-term rentals for a steady income.

All you can do is work with what you know now and what is a reasonable expectation for the future.

Others recommend tools like Stessa or Buildium to track actual costs and project future expenses. 

One might even invite you to visit one of their projects to talk about it in detail and give you a peek behind the scenes. 

On the flip side, the margins aren’t quite as high as with rehab projects.
