HAPCO Philadelphia has heard politicians talk for years about offering incentives for affordable rental housing, but little actually gets done.

With just days until the city’s Democratic mayoral primary, two candidates are promising tax incentives to get developers to build more low-to-moderate-income rental properties.

Sure, it’s a Boston-area event and a Boston story.  But it’s what Philly rental and investment property owners have been up against for years.

What was once a good investment in small, multifamily affordable housing has now become nearly extinct as politicians and tenant advocates have created a rental environment that has pushed the small, independent Mom and Pop rental owners out of the market.  All thanks to increased government taxes, fees, costs, and regulation.

It’s a Boston story, but Philadelphia City Council must realize, it’s a Philly story as well.

 The Truth About Small Multifamily Investing & Why We Got Out:  A Boston Story

Over the past couple of years, I’ve been asked on a regular basis when we are doing an event on the South Shore.

We all know that we Bostonians don’t cross through the city – and here is your chance(if you are South of Boston) to attend our first-ever South Shore Event – in Braintree.

A couple of the mayoral hopefuls have lengthy pro-business records.

But which candidate would be most pro-rental owner if elected?

Bisnow.com talks to HP President Greg Wertman and other commercial real estate organizations to see if helping rental and investment property owners is on anyone’s agenda.
