If they're going to force an eviction, I would want either 1) to just wait until it's done and keep extending the contract (if you're in no rush at all) or 2) ask for a substantial price discount to deal with it yourself.

Never considered it a market to invest in.

With the property needing lots of work, I provided a solution to the owner.

This scenario applies to buildings with tens to hundreds of units within the city of Philadelphia. 

Just some notes to consider based on what your unit is like. 

It has been on the rental market for about 55 days and the average in the area is supposedly 36.

There’s also an easy way to import the listing to craigslist.

I'm a believer that there are deals to be had in any market.

This was also not mentioned until today. 

It’s quite appealing as a long term investment - even at today’s rates.
