Even modest upgrades (kitchen, bathroom, fresh paint) can make a big difference without requiring a major financial investment.

New windows and doors, new kitchen, updated bathroom, new HVAC, new flooring and paint and finished the attic with flooring and heating/cooling.

They are buying from naive sellers and getting a discount.

This single-family home sits on a 1.5-acre property and is 6,400 sf, six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a pool, a hot tub, and an expansive balcony.

By buying at a deep discount we have over $16,000 in equity on day one. 

We are about to close on a property soon in Philly and are planning to do the following work --Add HVAC, Add a full bathroom and add a half bathroom, Fix kitchen (keep same layout)My contractor is saying that (Approach - 1 ) - we don't need to pull permits.

Less than a year after I took this picture (which I printed out and hung up on my bathroom mirror so I could see it every night before bed, and then see the real thing at the gym every morning), I quit my job and have never worn a shirt and tie since.

Teaming up with Mexican retail giant El Puerto de Liverpool, the family has made a $3.8 billion bid at $23 per share.Nordstrom, like many department stores, is struggling with changing retail trends, including competition from discount chains and the rise of online shopping.

If you can find one with a true net 10% cap rate, you should be asking "why" is there such a large discount.

I feel like this deal pencils at $365-375k but need to add a bathroom, redo kitchen and existing bathroom, close in garage port for more sqft, + cosmetics and new appliances.
