I've read filing the exemption can be $10,000 and since this would be my first commercial deal (I'm planning on raising a couple hundred thousand dollars) the expense of filing is definitely a non-trivial sum...Any perspective would be greatly appreciated!

I've really grown to dislike LVP from an aesthetic perspective, but it's the clear winner over hardwoods from a durability perspective, especially for investment property.

There have been many great points made on this thread and I’ve appreciated the different viewpoints and perspectives.

I encourage you to think about this from that perspective.

I would say approach them first but then after that going to court might not be worth it from a time management perspective. 

I haven't had a chance to drive out there and get the lay of the land, but I'd love to hear your perspective.  

If you have a long-term perspective in real estate, I would dollar-cost average and continue to buy.

If I can give you one solid piece of advice, use your gut and do not be afraid to ask perspective tenant hard questions about there back ground and credit score.  

I started doing my homework on the Mongomery County, PA website and everything I found there is tailored to the tenant's perspective (what to do if you're being evicted and legal help on how to fight it).Can anyone out there help me with the specifics of what I need to do? 

Finally I add value to properties including fresh paint, new light fixtures, smart locks and even adding a kitchenette of laundry room if the landlord agrees that it will add value to their property to create a "second unit" out of a bedroom suite with a separate entrance.
