This unfortunately ruins it for the rest of my investors who still would like to make a pretty penny in promising/developing neighborhoods.I have seen many of my seasoned investors start to migrate to properties in Germantown and the outskirts of U-City as well as Grays Ferry as that neighborhood has experienced the trickle gentrification from Point Breeze the same way that Port Richmond has felt the benefits of Fishtown/East Kenzo. 

I also highly recommend that you find someone experienced.

I'm a fairly experienced investor but never tackled a weird situation like this before.

For all you more experienced RE investors out there, we recently bought a farm which includes a personal residence for our family, several improvements including large buildings and storage facilities for the farm, and the farmland itself. 

The experienced ones on here have probably experienced some of these; such as fire, mold, water leaks, moving beams around, furnaces, etc. 

I know at least one experienced investor who won’t buy rentals in Providence for that reason.Hope this helps!

Or better yet, hire an experienced Houston Realtor.Not sure if you’re new to Texas but make sure you understand the property tax system and that taxes are generally higher than many other US areas.  

Okay fellow BPer's,  I know some of you have experienced this or worse.

Find yourself an experienced partner who could use a little more money.

@Alex Deacon since you are very experienced in PA, do you have any issues evicting in the winter months?
