The amount you spend on rehabbing does not translate into value.

When I look at LA and how the crap areas are now hot - it would not be difficult to translate that to other cities using the same geo perspective.

Like I said, I'm very new to this, so it isn't translating well for me.

This keeps the houses illuminated, which translates into safety and less liability.

I was a t a neighborhood association meeting the other night and an apartment property manager stated that someone had told her she needed to translate her leases into spanish.

My first thoughts ran in the same direction as Pauls, but I find I don't really have the patience for poker nor do I think that would generate long term income.To be honest, $100K isn't going to directly translate into a long term livable income.

I borrow at about 6% and repay a couple months later after making 50-100% on my investment, which translates to 300-400% annualized return (or about 50 times the rate at which I borrowed).Leverage for the sake of investing arbitrage is a wonderful thing...

(Keller Williams, Remax, Cent21)"Open minded investors" translates to successful entrepreneurs in my mind, as long as said entrepreneurs are well informed and willing to utilize work ethic and good sense.

Take good photos with a high-res device that will translate well digitally, write a great ad, and advertise it well online, and you should be good to go.

Although it may work for you this does not necessarily translate into a good investment idea for everyone.
