Thanks in advance for any expertise/advise you can offer to help go from thinking about it... to doing it!  

This will lead to prices dropping in the short term and housing will become even  more unaffordable in the mid to long term  since higher interest rates will affect the construction sector the most.Over all I feel that if you buy smart (or even buy dumb but can afford the carrying cost) you will make a lot of money if you hold the property.

Use this site but recognize there is a range of expertise on this site and some people come across as being more of an expert than they are (I will indicate I have been involved in RE investing a long time and have never closed on close to 8 doors at once so that is quite a first purchase if it works out for you).I hope this works out for you. 

Hi Everyone,I am new to the Philadelphia area, however, am looking to get into the lower end renting sector of the city.

I'll just let the plantiff's attorney handle both sides of the case since it will save me some money" - it just doesn't add up in either case.Generally, on an MLS-listed property, the services of a buyers agent don't cost you anything as the buyer, but can save you a ton of money and heartache (usually far more valuable that the commission they earn) by employing better pricing and negotiation strategies, and helping you navigate the  transaction: property analysis, offer terms, inspections, secondary negotiations and concessions (after inspection), appraisal and other contract contingencies, lender conditions, and closing.Once you use the services of a great buyer's agent and understand the value of their expertise, there's very little reason to buy a property any other way. 

If you have questions that are better fit for my wife I'll pass to her, her expertise being 10+ years of property management in MA and is a licensed real estate agent focused on multifamily investments.Always with my best,Christopher Richardson

Disclosure: I am not a CPA and taxes are not my expertise. 

Whatever it is, it's outside my expertise. 

Can anyone with more expertise weigh in on this, specifically answering...1.
