But sure, I'll play along... $250-300k

I’m a Philly resident new-ish to the game, and trying to grow from my 2 rentals (outside of Philly) Any locals on here willing to have a conversation and maybe lend a little advice?

But if you want to scale up to multifamily (5+units), commercial is the name of the game.

If you want a game plan or checklist of things to prepare prior to starting your DM, feel free to holler and I'd be happy to send.Good luck!

I have always performed annual inspections and the house was always clean and in good order, and I did in fact see the tenant in May 2017 at the last signing.The first thought that crossed my mind was that the tenant was trying to get out of the lease early and that this is one giant game that he is playing.

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

I am currently new to the real estate game.

I am new to the real estate game looking to partner up with someone.

Maybe it's a long game -- offer him a 2 or 3 year lease with discounted rent along the lines of his current PITI.

So, getting to the lender/investor and/or adding in any government stips for FHA/VA also comes into play.
