let’s talk: PHILADELPHIA REAL ESTATE MARKET

Good Morning! As you all know by now, we are leaving NYC and making the move to PHILADELPHIA.

let’s talk: DIRT-Y BASMENTS

This past weekend my parents came to see Project Philadelphia for the first time! I walked them through what we have done and one thing that really stuck out to them was the basement… it didn’t have a floor and was instead covered in dirt.

This week I am getting ready to put a vacancy insurance policy on Project Philadelphia as we prepare to put it on the market. Let’s talk about VACANCY! So as we do, let’s talk Real Estate, let’s talk VACANCY POLICIES… First it is probably important to note that difference between a vacant and unoccupied home. An unoccupied home is a property that is left as if the homeowners or […]

let’s talk: TAX ABATEMENTS

Last week I spent the week in Philadelphia, camping out at our Project all day everyday to see what truly is going on and why this renovation is not done yet. For those of you who may not know, we bought this house a year ago, designed it, and hired a GC to handle ALL of the work. I have […]

So let’s talk why we decided to replace the existing concrete, how the site was prepped and what went into consideration during the process. So, as we do, let’s talk Real Estate, let’s talk WHEN, WHY, […]
