My main questions would be: how long does the entire process take from applying to actually having possible tenants to start picking from, and how do they determine exact amount for rent (the amounts listed on the housing authority site seem way higher than market rent, I’m wondering if I will actually get those numbers or not)any other general tips or advice is also appreciated!

I would love to connect with people in the area to get conversations started and build connections.

I've only just started but I am consistent.

So glad I didn't lose her bc honestly she has been a great tenant for past 3 years.

I always try to treat people I meet with respect even if they are just getting started.

As much as I want to get started now, it's necessary to consider closing costs, setting up an escrow, taxes, PMI, etc.

If it breaks when someone is in there, what is the rental income you would lose and how long would it take?

Does anyone else get inspections before they start demo?

I would not start building anything on it until it is yours as there is too much of a risk. 

hello, I'm looking to start my rental portfolio. can you recommend some up to coming neighborhoods in philly with good rental potential?
