I feel its in bad taste to ask her to spend $40 on a background check when she has been living there for years and been problem free for me but at the same time I would like to know more about her before signing another year long lease.

I saw a foreign guy writing about how insular western Pennsylvania is and a number of people treating what he said like it had zero merit, and I felt compelled to mention that I've had a good taste of how racist and xenophobic western Pennsylvania is recently, after all, this neo-Nazi just shot up a synagogue here last October.And then you pop up from nowhere (well, Allentown in eastern Pennsylvania) and start repeatedly telling me to calm down and not turn this into a thread about racism and xenophobia and this board's for real estate investing and I should stick to that.

After screening some of the markets within manageable distance, I believe Philly is good place to buy and hold for a starter like myself to have a taste in REI: relatively lower price to rent ratio, with the potential of appreciation due to the population influx caused by living cost increase in NJ and NYC, and also equally importantly, the high existing demand base to withstand possible impact should anything go wrong in the wider market :)I hope I am on the right track (please tell me if anyone see Philly market differently than I imagined above ).

Somehow just tastes that much better!
