Feel free to DM if interested and I'm happy to help.Competition is tougher than ever, we're requesting all our clients budget $2-$3k per year minimum in upgrades to remain on top.

The Philadelphia rental market remains strong, especially in high-demand areas near universities, hospitals, and transit hubs, so vacancies can generally be minimized with the right property in the right location.

We have parted ways with a bunch of "STR slumlords" as I call them but still some cheapskates remain.

The appreciation on rent and property values is going to be below the rate of inflation. 

I am remaining diligent with this project because I am rusted around the joints.

Just don't change your address to your parent's house, that would throw up a red flag. as long as that remains your primary and you aren't renting it out for at least a year after purchase, there shouldn't be any issues. 

Trying to cough up similar amount +new adjusted inflated price is very tough. 

I actually got an option from a buyer to buy all of my remaining properties in cash.

The worst thing is that states and municipalities are using wildly inflated data that AirDNA and their ilk are pitching to create more and more restrictive zoning laws based on the perception of windfall host profits, further creating challenges to supporting our mortgages in a region with an already long 4-6 month shoulder season.

Don't just call them once... make it a point to remain in regular contact with them (at least 1x per month) via phone, face to face, email, text, social media, mail, etc.At the same time, make it a point to add X number of NEW contacts to your database each day or week.
