For speculative buying, Brewerytown seems like a good bet especially if you find a deal along Girard Ave. 

conventional is probably my best bet for now, I'm just trying to educate my wife/partner as we go.  

@Joe Ellis  probably waste of time I bet they owe far more than 5k to bring it current

As stated above the REIN group is you best bet.

The explanation for the change was that a betting establishment cannot be on the same land parcel as an NFL stadium.  

I would bet that a majority of cases are lost by landlords over this one item.

I bet you like what you see.  

I'm a Boston area multi-family investor and its very tough to find good deals at this point in the cycle (my metrics are 8+ cap rate, 10%+ cash-on-cash return and 1.3+ DCR).Your best bet is to find out who the top broker is in your area in your asset class, take him or her to lunch and develop a relationship.  

The advantage of this is a safer bet because 5 people running the numbers and taking on the same risk would be smarter than a lone investor, and as can potentially buy into the properties if\when partners want to be bought out, or continue to work together on future properties.

That probably will be your best bet.
