Investing in a community without some desire to improve that community is not a very worthy strategy, IMHO.

Values are coming up and once covid is behind us I see the Haynies Corner area homes just going up in value as the houses are fixed up one by one the desirable area is expanding out.

I’ve been seeing the development and have been hesitant on the area because Oxon Hill has not been an area that was historically desirable for investment.

So I’ve been trying to figure out what are the most desirable Zipcodes in the city.

There are some others but that will depend on your price-point and desired commute.Best of luck to you moving forward!

-Our current home is probably worth around $500 - $550 (with current market conditions)    -We wanted to focus on having no debt, but now we also aren't left with a lot of capital and very little in retirement (hence our desire to look into real estate to help build wealth and recurring income).

I was curious to know for those other people who might have holdings in Oakland where your highest and best tenant is a voucher tenant how do you advertise to those people if the rental units aren't in highly desirable areas? 

It is projects like these that will continue to push Philadelphia towards being one of the most desirable markets for investors.

There are pockets within each town that are typically more desirable than others. 

Typically from what I have seen, the less desirable the area, the larger cap rates you will have.
