Think of it this way, if you charge either of these tenants and they protest enough to take it to court, what evidence do you have to win your case?

I'm in the mortgage business as a call-center loan officer, wanting to branch out, and from guys/girls that are growing and winning.

For example, if you ignore appreciation but find a 2% deal in a rural area, you will win that metric, but if the house costs $60k, then you are only generating $1200 gross revenue and after all expenses, the amount left over is not great, and your appreciation potential is next to nothing. 

Good luck winning anything at the official hearing.

Your best bet is to try areas outside of the 285 perimeter or go direct to seller.

I'd bet there is and therefore there is no 'housing shortage'.

So you win and get a judgement in your favor, Congrats!

hi, i’m in pennsylvania, and every time i win against my tenant in court and am awarded possession of my property, the tenant simply appeals the case within 30 days (usually on the 30th day) with no justified defense, buying himself months at a time while the courts issue a new court date . is there anything i can do to prevent this next time?

If the tenant ever realized that, they could sue you for all rents paid for their entire occupancy, and in Philadelphia, they'd probably win.

She is a fantastic estates and probate attorney here in town and I bet she can help save the deal and get you what you need.
