.#3 Every realtor should know their market so well that there's some diamonds in the rough.  

Like the Tax sale Overages I think Diamond is recirculating that one. 

The real money is in Chick Fil A or Raising Cane's where they pay tons of rent and usually do more sales than Starbucks, Mcdonalds, and a Subway store put together.Now of course the diamond tenants that pay lots of rent want the best locations as it's not really about the rent they pay it's more about how much sales per foot they think they can generate and profit for the site.Example a restaurant could pay 100k in rent but do 1.5 million in sales for 7.5 percent rent to sales ratio.

Waters muddied by scammers trying to trade difficult to evaluate assets (diamonds, metals, etc.) for real property4.

So, I am little leary about this, but maybe you found the diamond in the rough. 

(obviously, no; a beginner could get themselves killed on double black diamond terrain!).

Definitely.Trying to go OOS for your first REI deal is a bit like trying to surf a monster 100 foot wave before you've learned to swim, or trying to ski a double black diamond for your very first run.Fortunately, there are simpler strategies that are much better suited for a first time RE investor (house hacking, specifically).

I found one that was recommended by my estate planning attorney and he's fantastic, local, and didn't charge me to ask him questions for an hour plus.He listened to me, my game plan and I am even opening his eyes about how self directed IRA's work.Some people can and will pay a consultation fee, I'm not willing to and found a diamond by networking.Best of luck to you.

Not uncommon to see roofs fallen in or other major differed maintenance. 4) When a "diamond" does make it to auction.
