While I do not know the specifics of the purchase or exact location, I understand the Philadelphia market well enough to place this property in a lower tier neighborhood based on the ARV Mario shared.

That, or do medium or short term rentals (neighborhood and condition specific though, doesn't work for every property). 

Once you have this team in place, you should be able to invest in any market confidently.As for picking a specific market - I would go after one with an increasing job and population growth.

I rent specifically to contractors working short term jobs at a local petroleum refinery.

More specifically Franz Schubert’s Trout Quintet.

First step would be connect with a local lender familiar with the strategy specifically utilizing fha loans.

Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy).

If actions by the tenant in a NNN lease leads to a contractor placing a mechanics lien on the property, and assuming the lease agreement does not specifically address this scenario, what options are available to the landlord to resolve this?

Any specific blogs, people or places I need to plug-in to learn?

So then I decided to look into the possibility of opening my own practice and specializing in Real Estate specifically.
