    Landlord Insurance Explained: Protect Your Philly Rentals & Avoid Costly Mistakes

    Today we dive deep into one of the most overlooked yet crucial topics for landlords — property insurance. We sat down with Tom Cassidy, an experienced insurance broker, to break down what every Philadelphia landlord and real estate investor needs to know to protect their properties and avoid expensive surprises. We talk about the key differences between homeowner’s and landlord policies, why replacement cost coverage can save you thousands, and how deductibles, claims history, and even your neighbors can affect your insurance rates. Tom also explains how to choose between brokers and captive agents, why builder’s risk insurance is essential during renovations, and the right time to switch from a vacant policy to a tenant-based one. We also uncover the most common landlord insurance mistakes — from choosing the cheapest policy to missing vital coverages like water backup, service line protection, and loss of rent.

    Philadelphia Rental Market Update August 2025 | Northeast Philly Zip Codes & National Housing Trends

    Today we break down the Philadelphia rental market for August 2025. The median listed rent was $1,850 while the median closed rent came in at $1,821, with properties taking about 48 days to rent. In Northeast Philly, zip code 19136 showed a gap between listed and closed rents, while 19149 had slightly stronger results, both averaging 33 days on market.  We also look at the national housing picture, where increased multifamily construction is balancing the market and creating more competition for older properties. For landlords, this means it’s more important than ever to price realistically using real MLS data, focus on tenant experience with clean and well-maintained units, and stay informed on neighborhood trends and legislation.

    How to Handle Permits, Contractors & Renovation Costs in Philly Real Estate

    In this episode of The Philly Landlord Guy Podcast, I sit down with Jesse Smith, founder of JLS Architects, to talk about the realities of working with architects, navigating Philadelphia’s permitting system, budgeting for renovations, and selecting the right contractors. Jesse shares how JLS Architects approaches projects by prioritizing people and educating clients, and why involving an architect early—even before purchasing a property—can save investors time, money, and frustration. We break down common permitting delays, code requirements, and the differences between building and zoning codes. Jesse also explains essential elements of architectural drawings, when sprinkler systems are required, and how to avoid red flags in planning and design. We discuss budgeting challenges, why “cost per square foot” is misleading, how contingency planning works, and the importance of detailed scope documents. Jesse also provides valuable insights on contractor bidding, bid leveling with CSI divisions, and why long-term relationships with reliable contractors matter more than chasing the cheapest bid. If you’re a landlord, investor, or developer in Philadelphia, this episode is packed with actionable advice on permits, compliance, budgeting, and working effectively with your architect and contractors.   JLS Architects Website: jlsarchitects.com Email: general@jlsarchitects.com Phone: 484-89-9151  This episode is brought to you by TrustArt Realty, your full-service property management partner in Philadelphia.
