I have no problems stating that they know their business, understand the market and in many cases, for certain areas, literally know building-by-building who owns it, when it last traded, the condition of the property, the tenant base, etc, etc.

5% to 25% based on age and current condition.

This can increase price up to 340.

The condition of the property is a good starting point, but wanted to see what tools other folks use. 

FYI all Philadelphia Real Estate Investors -The Philadelphia County Transfer Tax Rate is increasing January 2017 from 4% to 4.1%. 

Also, what is the financial condition of you and your business partner?

Account Closed Yes I am trying to acquire a wholesale deal  in Philly either shell condition or rehab for buy and hold. 

My thoughts are that aside from gated communities, pocket neighborhoods and shared housing foster a sense of community and increase safety of neighborhooods. 

This is a great opportunity for a leasing agent to really learn the business and increase their income.  

Should I refinance into the low 3s to increase my cash flow to around 400 a month or should I leave it as is?
