Weaknesses
The Philadelphia MSA, while large and diverse, is not projected to experience above-average population growth compared to faster-growing Sunbelt markets, which could limit long-term rent growth potential.
New Jersey is decisively one of the least landlord-friendly states in the U.S. Its policy environment is heavily weighted toward protecting tenant rights, limiting eviction flexibility, and imposing significant financial and procedural burdens on property owners.
