I would also say that you might have to be a bit patient before the right investment deal comes along...it might take several offers/etc before you are able to get a good investment property under contract. 

After losing much of my income to a divorce, my home became my safety net.  

I understand the health and safety issues in renting and the town has an interest in protecting tenants and their rights.

I need to be more patient.

Hi BiggerpocketsRecently just read that if the property in philly is built before 1978 and is renting to a family with kids under 6 years old, the property needs to run a lead paint safety inspection and it is needed to be renewed every 2 years.

My question: because this is a safety issue, how does the eviction timeline differ from a regular eviction.

If the appraisal comes in below the purchase price, then you would need to make up the difference (thus his comment about 25% could become 30% to make it work).Also, the property needs to not have any health/safety issues, which is probably what he was really referring to.

Then he should have been patient.

This can make acquisitions easier in terms of analysis and justify the higher price point due to the safety of asset.

I come from a public safety/ law enforcement background.
