Philly is competitive, but lots more options and the math can usually work out more in your favor.

I am working with a 1031 company right now, but I will reach out to you if for some reason the other company doesn't work out.

While the numbers did work out (on paper at least), it just came down to my personal style.

I know that the competition in Florida is intense, my uncle has been doing it in Ft.

New York investing is very capital intensive.

You also have to prepare for a lower grade tenants and more management intensive ownership.Another advantage of a higher rent/price on a 4plx is it will help your DTI ratios during loan qualification process.

Again, you'll want to make sure your numbers work out.

Thats not to say it doesn't come without some tennants on the margins of society :) I'm sure this one will be management intensive.

In other words, I have to go for less management/maintenance intensive properties (this isn't my career -- yet!).
