Bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage below ground do not get counted for comparison purposes.

Only one of the houses I found had granite (that's not the only quality indicator of course I'm just trying to make comparisons) but at the $1,400 on up mark the houses have around 1,800 to 2,000 square feet.Do you think it's better to buy another property strictly as an investment and do the appropriate upgrades for the price?

@Madeline BurkeMaybe a bullet point comparison may be in order just so a prospective user like myself and actually go in and see what I could use in Turbotenant? 

Nothing wild in comparison to the 50-100+ unit deals being discussed, but still exciting for me.  

One of the strongest conclusions I draw from this data is that the multifamily market in Philly is definitely hot in comparison to previous years, with Units, Volume and Median Sale Price up and DOM down, this is exactly what you’d expect to see when the market is humming!

Be aware that Wells Fargo offer a lower LTV on HELOCs in comparison to most others. 

In reading about population growth I have seen a lot of comparisons to net-in migration growth rates vs net natural change and in some instances net in migration is increasing while net natural change is decreasing creating flat to 1% growth in that market.

But I don't think any of those homes were 3-season so it's not really a valid comparison. 

This comparison is for the building only; all other thing being equal we would add back the land value which should be the same for each (land does not wear out so it doesn't depreciate.What often confuses people about older homes is that they appear to increase in value.

The higher it appraises for in comparison to what you owe the better for you!
