Very difficult area to be a landlord.Tenant base is lifer tenants. very tough on the housestheft is rampant you leave a home vacant for more than a few days and you HVAC AC unit will take a walkKids break in and trash them.YAZOO Clay screws up the foundations big time.And lastly with those homes they were built so cheap in many instances they are just functionally obsolete and take way more maintenance than other areas of the country.

I didn't hear back from them, and then I did one last effort to join Subto at the end of September of 2023.

The last partial payment they made to me was in December of 2023.

In some cases, it may not be possible to purchase and store materials, but if it is, that is one way to protect your budget and avoid a costly mistake.The last thing I would offer for you to think about is having a pivot plan. 

That limit has bounced all over the place for the last 50 years and is subject to congress' whims. 

I'd be looking at multiple structures. we try to build below the average new build cost in our market in Columbus Ohio which is 515,000 last year and we target land 40-50k and urban core adjacent where we get higher price per square foot. we build for clients with margin around $190 a sq ft depending on multi or single. we can get that down in our triplex it's a little higher on our single family homes because of garages and limited economies of scale. hope that helps. idk Philly but if you show me the area and styles of homes I can give you some more insights. 

It was just last week a landlord here said it doesn't matter if the tenant hates because they all do, so it really doesn't matter how you run it. 

Though my last visit turned me off with the traffic and prices.

Thank you for the run down on the eviction, I found a local attorney and she filed for me last week and told me it will take 7-8 weeks.

I started my solo-shop last summer and looking for ways to improve!
