.: Quote from @Don Solt: Hi folks, As the topic states I'm looking to learn everything I can about the City of Philadelphia and its real-estate market.

Hi, I'm a Broker in MA with just one agent in the company (my admin).

I'm have been asked to enter into a partnership with an experienced investor, and I'm not sure how to or the best way to structure a partnership.

I handle hundreds of insurance claims, resident compensation, crime, and pricing… so I am very familiar with the system and reasons behind policies. 

Right now there're some agents trying to sell me the new build homes, but I've run the number, with the current interest rate it's really hard to get a breakeven cashflow in 5 years. 

You need a reserve to handle unexpected costs, particularly during the first 1-2 years of ownership and learning how to manage the property. 

The other side...even worse perhaps, is the two hours after you buy the real estate, the coin doubles in values, meaning overpaid by 100% for the real estate.I've addressed this the $1M is hypothetical the actual amount is more than that.

I know the reality of the business.

Over the last year, we noticed a few key trends worth highlighting:Market Recovery Signs:Loan volumes reached $539 billion in 2024, up 26% year-over-year.

One pic of the 2 arcades side by side would be best to show the highlights of the room.
