This is why I sometimes argue with other investors passionatly about their behaviour when it is 100% profit driven and IMO without consideration of the impact on the public - I don't want to be seen as a predator, who takes advantage of people that are what some call highly motivated (= they have no choice); I run a for-profit business, but we should not put dollars and profit over our social responsibilities - and in the end out public image.

No evictions/bankruptcies/ unpaid judgements We tell them we will run a background check and handle felony convictions on a case by case basis in order not to run afoul of any disparate impact claims.We publish this in all of our ads, the tenant questionnaire, and their application. 

It’s beautiful here, with such a vibrant culture, it reminds me of where I grew up in Jamaica!

As a newbie to this culture I tried to take in as much as possible and it was so much excitement, energy, education, relationship building, camaraderie and sharing.

he was questioning whether by buying advertising on Zillow, agents were helping to contribute to the demise of real estate agents, or at least impacting their profitability.

The culture of the group is very collaborative and supportive.

After screening some of the markets within manageable distance, I believe Philly is good place to buy and hold for a starter like myself to have a taste in REI: relatively lower price to rent ratio, with the potential of appreciation due to the population influx caused by living cost increase in NJ and NYC, and also equally importantly, the high existing demand base to withstand possible impact should anything go wrong in the wider market :)I hope I am on the right track (please tell me if anyone see Philly market differently than I imagined above ).

Business purpose loans are less impactful on credit.

It's a mutual relationship as the better my business does (The business of providing them clean, affordable, safe housing) the quality of life of ALL my tenants will be impacted positively.

Please report back on the actual impact - lease up times - increased rents.Let us track your success.
