I know people who currently have that, it started a generation ago and probably ends next generation, it's hard to maintain this more than a couple generations because the politics, religion and underlying values can't hold across hundreds of extended family members.The same goes for business/way of life.

I’m not looking to make real estate my full time job or anything that intense, but more tools to get me to financial independence sooner are always welcome, and this is something I think I could be good at.

This is a trend you will observe across the country, not specifically in Philadelphia.

I don't agree with this exact order but to be honest and fair, there is more than one way to do it right.
