Look at my street right now: the "zestimates" are off by hundreds of thousands on every single property.

Other ideas that have captured my attention are finding a 4 bed/1.5 bath house that has room to add a stand up shower to make it a proper 4/2. 

Freedom to fail. '08' could have been one of the greatest cleansings of our nation in generations but instead we got scammed and then force feed the kool-aid of how good it was that wall-street won out over main-street. 

I am planning on living in the house next year and renting out the other rooms (3 bed 2 bath).

I guess what I am really asking is that if there are 4 bedroom, 4 bath homes that already have what you need - why not just buy one?

Investing in this property on Locust Street in Philadelphia, PA, was driven by its prime location in Center City, offering proximity to cultural landmarks, business hubs, and vibrant city life.

My wife and I currently own two identical condos (3 bedroom/2 bath) in the same community.

I was the first developer on a street back in 2016 and anytime I was out there the neighbors would be on their porch shaking their heads in anger. 

Place good residents, make sure the block is nice (just not the street) and you should be fine.
