This project was a complete renovation of a single family home in the Mantua neighborhood. A new foundation was poured in the rear of the building and the home was extended to allow for a third bedroom and larger kitchen.
Projects
I currently own and operate self storage facilities. Before that, I spent more than 15 years buying, renovating, and rebuilding residential real estate across Philadelphia and Camden. These projects show how I learned to evaluate and operate real assets.
Self Storage Facilities I Own and Operate
These are not theoretical case studies. They are active properties with real tenants, expenses, maintenance, and operating decisions.
2030 Cemetery Ave
A 22,000-square-foot outdoor self storage facility that I currently own and operate.
901 E 10th St
An 8,300-square-foot self storage facility that I currently own and operate.
Operating these facilities informs how I evaluate occupancy, rents, expenses, access, maintenance, tenant demand, and operational upside in future acquisitions.
Earlier Projects Across Philadelphia and Camden
Before focusing on commercial real estate, I completed residential renovations, conversions, and rehab projects across the region. These are supporting proof of how I learned to operate. Tap any project to open it and browse the photos.

One of my largest projects: a 36-unit renovation in Cobbs Creek, with properties purchased from the City of Philadelphia and rebuilt into rentable units. The Osage Ave half features 18+ foot wide layouts with garage parking. This was the site of the 1985 MOVE bombing.

This project was a complete renovation of a single family home in the Haverford North neighborhood. There were many challenges during this project including a fire soon after the building was purchased. After the fire-damaged wood was removed and stabilized, a 12-foot extension was built on the home which allowed for a spacious 2BD/2BA layout with a finished basement.

This was a double-rehab project for me in the Belmont neighborhood. I originally did a rental grade rehab and held the property for rent before deciding to turn it over and sell for a profit. The blue kitchen mixed with original detail led me to receive an offer shortly after being listed on the market.

This project was a complete renovation of a 2-story end row in the Belmont neighborhood. I was able to keep some of the original touches out front (the brick railing) and inside (exposed brick rail). This was one of my quickest rehabs start to finish, approximately 90 days.

One of my best early learning experiences and a property I owned on my own. I bought this triplex in West Philadelphia with less than $1,000 out of pocket using an FHA 203k rehab loan. Rather than a full gut, I repaired the major systems and made cosmetic updates, then later added a third unit.
