I have to chuckle a bit at naming the "worst" villages to do rehabbing in based on how tough inspectors are.

those small change orders are really tough to keep straight when your production building.. i know we miss stuff and have to redo it as well..

I went the other way I was selling very tough to sell Land in Northern Ca. national forest areas (Mendocino) my fee was 10 to 20% and sometimes higher.. these properties are common in the West.. where you have private ownership surrounded by National Forest lands..

But "good enough" would be a mighty tough standard to meet.

Markets across the country are very hot, unless it’s on off market deal or motivated seller, lowball offers are very tough in this environment,

@Charlice ArnoldThis is a tough question because it's so broad; debt is dealt with on a deal-by-deal and location-by-location basis.

This is all pretty basic stuff, that you can read about here on BP if you spend a bit of time looking.So, tough question for you - how are you going to succeed at RE investing, if you keep putting in little to no effort on research and just ask strangers for help?

We've come to realize that the Boston market is too tough and the numbers don't make sense (to even house hack), so just recently, we decided to hone in on Plymouth, MA... with the idea that it could be a good tertiary market to do furnished rentals (thinking short-term/AirBnB in the summer, and mid-term in the offseasons).

What strategies have you found effective for breaking through those tough times and regaining momentum?

Even as we get efficient and effective buying solo, getting it to our advantage with price reductions and concessions used to be very tough but should get easier with the new (about time) rules of buyers being responsible for getting their own agent paid.
