Yeah, I'm finding $1.50/ft/month is about where projects in Raleigh pencil, even with higher construction costs than CHA.

@Villy Ellinger Simple repairs like replacing a ballast in a fluorescent light, replacing a thermocouple or heating element in a hot water tank, replacing the agitator dogs in a washer, replacing the heating element in an electric dryer, replacing the ignitor in a gas dryer, replacing a faulty breaker in a fuse panel, replacing the fill valve/flapper/wax seal in a toilet, replacing a garbage disposer, replacing a capacitor in a CH/A unit, etc. 

You need to think outside the box and maybe you can close them using another creative strategy - win-win - cha-ching!

You need a constant source of inbound inquiries where you might be the only one talking to a seller.Of course, that all worked a lot better in the day when more people had equity in their properties.But, when you get a call from an older couple that has had their house paid off for 20 years, and they know it's something of a wreck and the thought of strangers traipsing through their home annoys (or embarrasses) them to no end...cha-ching!

Also, I wonder if when they hear thunder in the sky do they also hear "cha-ching"?
