You seem pumped up to do this, but do it first at a local meetup (in terms of connecting with people) or else you are just going to get a bunch of people trying to sell you services or on how good they are.

I don’t plan on living in Philadelphia long-term but probably will for at least the next year.

We spent the last year remodeling the basement ourselves and currently have our first medium term renter (We fully furnished the unit to squeeze more rent out). 

Worth area a great market to own long term rentals.

The First is in Crestview FL with a long-term military tenant. 

I'm a young individual who is deeply interested in investing in long term multifamily.

It will all tie into my strategy (long and short term) step by step.

When rates are high you can charge higher rates, offer short term loans (12 months) and have some liquidity and make a decent return

I thought I would have more time when I purchased the home, but recently accepted a promotion.

Gradually increase the rent or be flexible in terms of them moving giving them time to find a new place without penalty of breaking a lease.
