Investor Opportunity in West Philly! Welcome to 5148 Brown Street, a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home located in one of Philadelphia’s fastest-growing neighborhoods. This property is currently tenant-occupied with rental income coming in through the Section 8 program, offering dependable cash flow from day one. While the rent is currently under market value, there’s real potential here for future upside. The long-term tenant has been in place for several years, which means stability, though the home itself could benefit from cosmetic updates down the line. The property is being sold as-is, and interior showings can be scheduled via Showing Time. This block is seeing new investment and development, and the home is close to schools, shopping, and public transit—making it a solid choice for investors looking to buy and hold in a high-demand area. With a little vision, this could be a great addition to your portfolio.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
