Philadelphia's population growth is not fast by any means, but from what I am looking at it is stronger than Wilmington's as of the last 10-20 years.

Hello Dillon You have an interesting market you are in, it is overpriced in most areas, however the population is exploding, in the last 3 years and will continue upwards for many years to come.  

@Ian Gilligan  There are a lot of great resources out there to look at such as bestplaces.net, city-data.org, BLS.gov etc. that can show you population, job growth, occupational trends and more.

The population has been a bit of a decline, but not sure if that is the case.

Trends -  as net migration, job outlook, unemployment rate/trend, how much of population can afford your desired rents with your screening/underwriting.  2.

Here is the summary:- 2/1/1/1 4 plex- Last sold in 2016 for 46,000- Owner has put in $8332 for rehab since- list price : 79,900- last years rent total: $21,446- last years expenses: $10,912 (this is not counting Safe Harbor expenses, I included those in rehab) The place is by no means sparkling, some of the units have section 8 tenants, and it’s in a small town with population of around 1300.

Hi Randall,There will almost always be a demand for housing in Allston, aside from the huge student population it also has a ton of Young professionals and a few other populations. 

Is the property in the growing neighborhood (economy and population wise)?

I'm in a small population of around 15,000 in Nebraska and have only heard of one other person wholesaling real estate in my area.

As US population continues to grow and select cities continue to have job and population growth the demand for renting a place to live is still there and it's likely going to continue.
