I remember how stressful this was... it just felt like an endless saga that would never end.  

I currently am an active investor in the Reading area and I can tell you it’s definitely a good area to start off with.

My total expense ratio on each property I own ranges anywhere from 40%-50% annually, but I also self-manage and am not a slumlord (I am pro-active with maintenance, not reactive).

For example, if you are an active investor you can still find deals but they may not have quite as high of returns as we had become accustomed to in the previous years on average.

Although the Burnt Store areas are seeing somewhat sustainable demand for owner-occupied properties, we're currently still not seeing enough support for activities that would draw tourism into that area.

i can't even imagine that how stressful is that . 

@Andres Felipe Alba Hernandez Yes, neighborhood covenants can sometimes restrict certain activities, including short-term rentals (STRs) or renting out parts of a home, even in areas without a Homeowners Association (HOA).

I do know, however, that they are pretty strict about the STR activity in the area. 

The only development left for this part of the project is to add a new 12-story sewer interceptor to the tunnel, with completion set for 2025, at which point the plans for a new mixed-use community can go forward at the Robinson Terminal long abandoned warehouse, where the infrastructure connecting the tunnel to the river has been taking place.There is no doubt that the Potomac River turning swimmable and fishable, along with the already spectacular views, that properties and activities along the waterfront will become much more attractive to locals and tourists.

Occupancy can be off the charts in places like this because there is so much activity or reasons for people to visit during what would be slow days of the week and off season months.
