Purchase price: $28,500 Cash invested: $178,000 Sale price: $250,000 Bought a 3 unit riddled with drugs or prostitutes from the city at the tax auction, spent a year gutting and consolidating all three units in two structures to a single-family home with an exterior side entry garage.

Quote from @Cindy Young: Hi All - if anyone has rec'd CPA advice or knowledge regarding my question, thanking you in advance for response.  

I’ve isolated these three markets as they’re all within driving distance from my home and seem to fit my budget of $100K-$200K for purchase price.

I still turn them all over for collections with an agency that reports them to the credit reporting agencies.

First of all, welcome! 

This kind of govt nosiness and overreach is why I initially decided against the financial planning industry before starting in credit. you can thank 2008 and all the fraud that went on for that.

Not all of the episodes will be up your alley but they will broaden your horizons to a lot of different investment types and concepts that might speak to you.

@Joy Daniels - All good suggestions above!
