Our contractor earns 15% plus an additional 5% bonus if the property sells for 40% or more of the amount invested.

@Shawn AckermanIt's hard to say for certain, though I do think of the midwest cities as cash flow markets primarily with any appreciation being a bonus.

For me, if you want to live there then price/investment opportunity is a pure bonus.

I see the same thing in L.A , people are saying the NFL stadium will transform Inglewood .

My Dad likes to buy these types of properties and turn them into rentals to collect the extra cash flow from the non-conforming units ... double bonus if it is in an area with college rentals (that tend to rent by the room) or airbnb.

You can get the bonus round if you would ask them if they would pay X for a property with Y configuration in Z area.

Hat could be a great added bonus for full pro account members who request and become "certified.

But aside from the bonus in cash flow that it will bring, I was curious to if the repairs and roof done to the garage will in fact add value to the property at all!?

If you see an area undergoing transformation and in the path of progress that can work out but has risks in how that development progresses and in what direction.  

If you added my Total income, my bonuses, and the ESOP it wouldnt come to $40,000.
