We are located in Charlotte, NC, and here is some back story to help encourage professional opinions.As of right now My wife is a full time student at UNCC scheduled to graduate in December of this year (Woohoo!!)

Whether or not you sell your current house will depend on what the numbers are for renting each room and what your payment is.Where are you located, what are the rents for each room, what's your current payment?  

I use any rental income to pay for utilities, business expenses pertaining to the house, etc.I plan to open a new bank account for the Philly house for expenses/income but can it be the bank I use here, or has to have a Philly location? 

This shows they already invest in the area and are proven to like the location.

It wa located in LP.

I don't mind paying for quality work,  but don't wanna go broke either.So any suggestions on how to locate someone would be appreciated.   

Depending on the property and location, crime statistics etc... 

We all want to buy a $20M house, private jet, be able to afford houses in the most desirable locations on the planet.

I've bid on a bunch of these as have my clients, and there are many reasons to see them in advance (mold, bad location, terrible general condition of property, bad septic system, etc).

But I guarantee you the companies putting their name on the top of buildings in downtown Atlanta or Charlotte are paying a lot for it or getting equal value in lease negotiations.It sounds like your particular sign has some solid value to the business so I would start out asking for something for it in your negotiations and go from there depending on what else they and you want.The only caution I would throw in is to look at how valuable that location is to the bank.
