Hi,I’m looking to invest for the first time in the US (Philly) as a real estate investor.

How is general property appreciation there?

Hello, I am new to real estate investing.  

In property management?

DSCR Loans only available when property is fully finished and turnkey, however you might want to look into a lender that offers ground-up construction loans and DSCR.Also - be careful around the modular home / quick property types since these mortgage loans typically have to be secured by foundational real estate, so anything that can be moved or not fully foundational is probably a no-go (can't foreclose/protect the investment as a lender)

Real estate has been a game-changer in my financial strategy, and I’m eager to share my story and hear yours.

Should you set aside additional money aside from capital gains to pay for the income tax increase if you make a profit on a property? 

We have recently loosened our cancellation policies on most properties to remain competitive. 

Hey David, this sounds like a great project with the potential to add a lot of value to your property.

Finding a short-term rental (STR) that works with a mortgage is achievable, but it's essential to start by working with an investor-friendly real estate agent.
