Looking at multi-family properties. 

Hi all,I'm an investor in the Greater Philadelphia area and am looking for properties (5+ bed or multi unit) for rehab/rent or just rent.From what I'm seeing there are a few wholesalers operating in the area. 

@Anita Ahuja I have done BRRRR deals for a multi faimly property in Bay Point and worked out well.

East Boston is pretty tricky for rental as multies are more valued based on condo potential rather than "true rental property".

I have friends and their friends who want me to help them purchase some properties (single & multi-family units) in the states (a way for them to keep their assets safe and growing) and they would want me to manage those properties for them. 

also I think we might go multi family on the second property so I'm hoping to also count those rents.

Flipping in any major city requires a lot of money. in Boston you at 500k to get into a condo. then 1 million for house or multi if your lucky!

A full-time Realtor generally has more of a track record, buyer database, etc.... 

I have been doing deals for the past 5-6 years, ranging from SFH, to Multi, to MHP, to storage, to private money... 

I'm a big proponent for more of a turn-key multi-family as a first property.
