Downside is that I will need to pay city tax coming out to be $150-200 in taxes.Living outside of the city of Philadelphia I would be saving around $2,800 in 8 months - which is the time I believe I will be ready to purchase a home to house hack.Do you think it's best to live outside of the city with no city tax and save those $2,800.

I'm a new investor looking to start flipping houses in the Atlanta market, preferably outside the perimeter.

That said, I don’t see a “crash” at all, in fact, I see a high possibility of interest rates going lower to counter act some other outside of real estate forces that could cause an economy downturn.

If someones doing work outside usually in a big enough city an inspector will see it and will issue a stop work order for unpermitted work.   

( if more people leaving BA than moving in), that's one of the reason I was looking outside BA.

If it's an attached home and I'm not able to inspect the entire outside at once, I will do the back yard last.I also have a quick guide of things to check in each room:DoorsWallsFlooringCeilingLight fixtures and/or fansSmoke / CO2 devicesWindows, sills, and coveringsOutlets and switchesBaseboard or trimFixturesAppliancesEven these are broken down in more detail.

I actually moved up this way many ‘moons’ ago from just outside NYC and I haven’t regretted the decision other than the damn 6 months of winter, Lol.

Or they can drill a hole through the closet in the master bedroom so the network cable can be routed from outside and the modem hooked up in the master bedroom.The whole point of doing this is to secure a modem and router in the master bedroom since my friend will Airbnb the unoccupied rooms but doesn't want to leave the modem/router in an unsecured location for security.1) If she chooses to route the network cable from the closet, is there a good way to lay down the cable so people don't trip over it? 

Because of the lack of Coronavirus outside of China, there is a huge lack of good information.
