    URGENT UPDATE FOR PHILLY LANDLORDS: New legislation has been introduced by Councilmember Nicolas O’Rourke that could fundamentally change how you provide housing in Philadelphia.

    Investing in Philadelphia 19124: Frankford, Juniata & Northwood Rental Market Guide

    In this solo episode of The Philly Landlord Guy, Yuriy Skripnichenko takes you deep into his own "backyard"—the 19124 zip code. Covering Frankford, Juniata Park, Northwood, and Oxford Circle, Yuriy breaks down why this area offers real cash flow and affordable entry points ($150k–$180k) compared to the rest of the city. However, 19124 is not without its risks. Yuriy shares his personal "rule of thumb" for which blocks to avoid, explains the "Illegal Duplex Trap" that catches so many new investors, and reveals the silent cash flow killers hidden in these pre-war rowhomes. In This Episode: 19124 Market Stats: Why rentals here move 6 days faster than the city average. Neighborhood Breakdown: The difference between investing in the historic streets of Northwood vs. the hustle of Frankford. The Illegal Duplex Trap: Why multiple meters do not equal a legal duplex, and how to verify zoning before you buy. Renovation Mistakes: Why you should stop over-improving rentals in this zip code.
