@Tyler KeslingYou find comps in the market that have traded in the past 6-12 months.

It’s why structures adjacent to vacant parcels due to demolition historically trade at significant discounts (not only because of the issue you’re grappling with but also the risks associated with underpinning and the construction process if and when the adjacent properties are redeveloped).

In CS2 trading, raising funds to acquire rare skins is pretty common, especially if you're looking to flip them for profit.

The past few years, the older fixer uppers were trading at 4 caps.

Ultimately it’s personal preference but if you choose to proceed without permits you should at least use trades who have the ability to obtain permits in Philadelphia.

Remember a true STR under the tax rules isn’t considered a real property trade or business.

They won't give you leads, they don't know investors, and it's of no consequence.

Hi @Jessica Heller I have lots of different trades & handyman available. 

I ditto the above comments to investigate MTR property managers, as well as tax consequences.

You want an financial planner who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.
