If your property is dumpy (unless you are in ultra competitive markets like NYC), then you are going to attract a dumpy tenant.

(I don't know anything about this property - I just made up an address but as luck would have it, it did come back to an out of state owner lol.I just moved to Palm Beach county from the Tampa Bay area after being in that market since 93, and plan to use what I learned in that ultra competitive market to tear it up down here.Property Detail Location Address 3280 LAKE OSBORNE DR 211 Municipality LAKE WORTH Parcel Control Number 38-43-44-29-17-003-2110 Subdivision MURRY HILLS APT BLDG CONDS 1 TO 23 IN SECTION 29-44-43 Official Records Book 27909 Page 1444 Sale Date OCT-2015 Legal Description MURRY HILLS APT BLDG NO 3 CONDOMINIUM APT 211 Owner Information Owners GOLDSWORTHY KATHLEEN M & TIMOTHY H JOINT GOLDSWORTHY KATHLEEN M TR & GOLDSWORTHY TIMOTHY H Mailing address 5529 LAKE MENDOTA DR MADISON WI 53705 1248

You don't get marketing, you buy your own combo box, you're using what amounts to a FSBO yard sign, no photos unless you take them yourself, no marketing...just an ultra-basic service.Some of the ones I've seen in DC are even worse in that they're $500 for the listing only, as in no better than the $99 service.Also, in my personal experience, I've been able to get my houses sold quickly.  

One thing to remember is dont over leverage or over extend yourself and play it ultra safe until you get really good at sensing the market and looking at indicators of whats about to come.

It all depends how desperate the seller is if they will consider your options.If they want all cash and quick close and know they will be rid of the problem to shift all the risk to your side then has to be an ultra low price with huge upside for your time.

Right now with the COVID-19 rush and ultra low interest rates, everything is being bid up by $10k's over asking. 

Specially in the ultra competitive market of SF Bay Area.

He mentioned a statistic that the "Ultra Rich" ($50M+ net worth) have 60% of their wealth in stocks and 40% is in real estate.I was hoping to get some feedback from some of the people who have long term experience (or great references) in building a strong portfolio.

Did you know that all of our beaches belong to the people and that hotels and the ultra rich can not buy them?

I can detect smells most people just don't notice.Use an Ultraviolet light in the dark and animal pee will glow.
