Quote from @Teddy Mao: Read a few books on real estate investing to learn the power of leverage.

I believe in the power of networking and collaboration, which is why I am eager to connect with fellow members here on BiggerPockets.In addition to my work in real estate, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development.

This isn't solely a Philadelphia problem, but it's exasperated by the amount of power and influence City Council members have over their districts.

Both can be powerful tools for investors, especially when you’re looking to maximize cash flow and returns.Since most lenders have a minimum loan requirement of $75K, you might want to explore hard money lenders.These lenders specialize in funding investment properties, even for amounts below traditional lending thresholds.

I said only if it was installed by an electrician, remained with the house and I had veto power if I didn't like it.

Creative financing can be quite powerful but it needs to be learned either from someone experienced or will be learned by trial and error.

You'll need to figure out how to wire it (it's not that tricky, a lot of devices have a 12v power supply) or pick a different model that can plug into a wall but has similar specs. 

This will give you buying power up to roughly $700k as there are plenty of lenders who ovver 90% LTC loans while offering 100% of rehab funds. 

I think finding a network of people is the most powerful force multiplier for this type of investing.
