Any lender recommendations for the Southeast PA region that would be able to underwrite this type of move?

I serve as the Managing Partner at Walter & Wells Real Estate Group - an acquisitions and development firm that specializes in single and multi family projects in the Maryland and Pennsylvania regions. 

Hey Harry, I would take a long hard look at the numbers and make sure you are not talking yourself into buying simply because you can afford it in that region.

I already own a home around lake Elkhorn, but I was thinking that the area around downtown Columbia might appreciate a good amount in the next few years.Hopefully they plan on adding a bit more night life to the town too.Columbia is imo one of the more undervalued area’s in our region being equal distance to both Baltimore and D.C., especially during hybrid work in the future.

Hi guys,I am currently looking to expand my portfolio in the Albany/ Troy/ Schenectady region with a partner that lives close to the region.

I recommend you approach a small or regional broker or lender that specializes in this light industrial niche.

Also, might try reaching out to regional chains pitching the space to them as you would a bank.

For our region, I would expect rent growth somewhere around 5-6%, and appreciation in the 6-10% range.

We love the north central to central Indiana regions for future rent growth and appreciation.

There are loads of resources both in your state/region forum and also the landlord forum.It is critical to vet your tenant well.
