I am interested in this as well especially the the process and USDA grants. 

This will hold true in any lower cost inventory neighborhood, not a Philadelphia specific problem but resist the temptation particularly if you are not a local hands own operator.

Purchase price: $552,000 Cash invested: $30,000 purchased this home as primary home. lived in it for 1 1/2 years, rented it out and moved to a different primary home.

Sometimes you buy low, sometimes you buy high.But as long as you stay in the market, you benefit from the tendency of the market to go up over time.People think of buying a house as this one time thing, but it’s actually more likely that you will buy, sell, refinance a few times over the course of 30 to 60 years.

Hi friends, I am a real estate investor from Israel and new to this market, I would appreciate recommendations on good agents to work with, who have experience with remote contacts.In addition, if there are investors here in the group that I can talk to, get to know, hear and learn about the city and recommended investment areas, I would appreciate it if you could send me a message

Does anyone have any perspective on this?

Unfortunately, I don't think it's realistic that you will find a generic commercial lease online that checks all the compliance boxes for your state, city, and county.There are limited service property managers that will do retail tenant placement (rather than full property management, which it seems like would be overkill for this one commercial unit you manage), and this would be included as part of that basket of services.You could also hire a lawyer, but I think that property management company will be more cost effective.
