Hi all who replied, even that guy from England, bah, you win one lost game and you guys come out of the wood work!

the contacts will come out of the woodwork!

Some neighbors came out of woodwork with their pieces volunteering to take Badness out, but a friend of the family got him fr the house.

Like upper cabinets "secured" by finish nailes, makshift plumbing and electrical, trim and woodwork that looks like a kindergardener has installed it, drywall that shows every single seam, roofs that leak from day one.

The woodwork, the size, location, etc, will really appeal to couples, friends traveling together, families, etc.

If you invest in low-income properties, you need to significantly increase your efforts on the front end to make sure you get a decent tenant.I follow the first approach and invest in quality areas and further improve my tenant pool by doing significant renovation and charging at or above market rents (the good tenants that can afford it come out of the woodwork).  

.)- Tenant operations that may be harder to insure (cooking, woodwork, manufacturing, etc.)- Construction of buildings/fire protection that may impact the insurance (frame construction in a non-hydranted area or one with distant fire depts)I echo the posts that emphasize the importance of an experienced real estate attorney. 

Welcome to BP and real estate investing @Bryan NunesYou "Bay Area Newbies" are just coming out of the woodwork lately..........somebody should quantify this as it would be a great indicator of market inflection points as sure as home affordability or new construction starts.Be that as it may, life is short my friend.  

The other problem is, that it seems like there's new investors coming out of the woodwork day after day after day.

That will help to pull people out of the woodwork.
