Places such as Kensington can really be block by block but although there are certain blocks that are slightly more attractive in Port Richmond, the main attribute driving the pricing there is the proximity to Fishtown.

I ask the above because I think many of these parts are much more attractive during the busy weekends when people travel to these areas.Which would make me ask the question what is your hold strategy?

I used my construction management experience and handyman skills to improve the homes, and they are really attractive to renters.  

The other side of this is how would an investor be attractive to someone who is using syndication to close on big deals?

So the million dollar question for the forum what's the "BEST" (in your opinion) way for me to get started on my quest? 

Hi Kelby,I watched a video that had very interesting tips about how to attract tenants.  

Unless you really need the agent to hand-hold the whole time, show you a million places, and they are so far into it, they want some kind of commitment you are going to stick with them..

About a week and a half ago I purchased Cody Sperber's first million in real estate and since then I've practically completed the course.

Condos are usually attractive because they are usually cheaper to get into, the biggest drawback are HOA fees.

Commercial real estate is all I do as a principal broker and look forward to getting up everyday and see what happens.Some residential brokers and agents just see big checks in commercial but do not understand the time and effort that go into deals of that size.Instead of clients putting down 4k to say 100k in residential they are putting down sometimes millions to tens of millions of dollars as an investment.Make sure you enjoy numbers and analysis.
