Philly as a whole is an extremely block-by-block city with ARV values changing by 20-30k depending on the block you are on.

Where my wife and I settled, given our loans coming out of college (and in hindsight they were extremely low interest: 2% on federal, about 3.5% on private, with one small one carrying about 6%, I believe) was to take roughly half of our left over take home and pay down loans, and the rest goes into savings/investments.  

This tenant is extremely disrespectful, lacks basic communication skills and is breaking the lease in more than one way.

Hey @Danielle Du Plooy I use Yvette Mitchell, she is based in Philadelphia, extremely creative and helpful.

STRs can be extremely profitable if done right, so feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

Also, if you are good at fixing up real estate, doing so may trigger a substantial increase in property value.

After some discussion, one of our main conclusions is that it only make sense to keep the house if we feel extremely confident it will continue to appreciate over the next 5-10+ years. 

Depending on the specific market, multifamily deals that make sense are extremely hard to come by.
