Which is the most effective, straight-forward and safe one to go with (That you are most likely using as well)?

@Marc Possoff here is the zoning code published by the city https://www.amlegal.com/codes/client/philadelphia_pa/For a garage/ parking pad you will need a curb cut which will require a variance unless its on a backstreet which does not allow parking. 

Find sellers who want to do some creative financing, cut out the hard money lender and let the seller be the bankOf COURSE these arent as easy as they sound, but with consistency and persistence, you got this.

Like a higher security deposit and/or a cut of the net profits. 

Its probably dangerous to offer to answer questions to a newby, I have so many right now I cant keep my head on straight.

What a normal rough cut multiple for the annual GRM multiple (not the 1% rule)?

I’d like them to come out and measure - cut - and install - ready to do the job now!

My monthly mortgage with taxes will be $5,200. insurance is $475.00 a monthfuel is $313 per monthelectric is $216 per monthgarbage, lawn care and plowing is $300 per monthDo you see any where I can cut cost?

They definitely earn their cut! 

The city has also been cracking down on proper permitting recently, so definitely go by the book and do not cut corners when it comes to that.Happy to talk further or have a call if you have more questions!
