Dear Victoria,I do not share your optimism and do not believe that your assessment of the stock market is entirely relevant to the benefits of investing in Philadelphia real estate.While you’ve gone out of your way to provide a number of compelling data points on the market, I think the balance sheets of most public traded companies tell a very different tale.

You can gain that experience through education, mentorship, and running a park yourself of course, but the goal is to become the expert at determining and executing the right strategy for a park.As it relates to management, just remember that your ability to move the needle will be directly related to the quality of the onsite manager, and YOUR ability to provide the proper leadership, goals for the park, and resources/support to help your onsite staff achieve them.All the best, Jack

In order to achieve that I will highlight the story of the deal along with analysis and better marketing than other agents.

He can probably achieve better returns, less fees, and more choices.

The way we think about renters is that they will pay what they can afford and will pay for the house that they "want"; this is very different than buyers, who generally can only buy what the bank will lend them and that's limited by what the market says the house is worth.So, my point is that if those cosmetic "fixes" will deter potential renters or prevent you from getting the most optimized rent, just fix it. 

Most have been lost to foreclosure it trashed: (Opinion: you can't just give people things they haven't worked hard to achieve because they won't appreciate them.For fun Google how many people lost their rehabbed houses given to them on the TV show Extreme Home Makeover.

What would be the right path to achieve this goal?

I could easily state that my kitchen knives and crock-pot have achieved a nearly incalculably high internal rate of return.

Question for the hive mind:I've just started to branch out into portfolio loans for my small multi-family purchases and most of the loan products I'm seeing local lenders offering make it seem incredibly difficult to achieve acceptable cash flow, even when some of the properties on the market hit the 1% rule or higher.For example, lenders are generally quoting me loans at 4.65-ish% interest on a 5-year term, amortized over 20 years, with an 80% LTV.The problem seems to be the 20 year amortization.

Just working to grow my knowledge on investing right now and hopefully achieve a couple of deals in 2020.Please feel free to reach out, I would like to connect with as much investing minds as I can on my journey to financial freedom!
