If a Buyer gives $100,000 for the down payment, he loses nothing: he simply transforms his equity from liquid it illiquid. 

I would be interested to know if you considered the following scenario where that one 8/4 property could be easily transformed into a multi unit with a few interior walls erected.

It needs to be transformed into something usable, like an assisted living facility, or totally redone into individual units with attached bathrooms, to see the true potential.

While the great fire was tragic it was also transformational as the building code regulations changed requiring fireproof materials such as brick, stone, marble, and limestone.

About 9 months ago I tried to post about the NESARA-like transformation that is taking place behind the scenes in our financial system, but the mods wouldn't allow the discussion to take place here.

And as I get closer to my goal on owning the street, because what I'm doing is so transformative, I will also control the values of the properties on that street, and they will jump from 15.00 - 25.00/sq ft to 45.00 - 55.00/sq ft short term and 60.00 - 80.00/sq ft over the next 3-5 years, and then continue to appreciate with the rest of the neighborhood.But the key is to see Youngstown as something more than a place to hoard cheap properties and slam the first person with money in their pocket through the door.

@Kar Sun Do United States is transforming rather rapidly and not in a good way… It is obvious this is not good for the states.

But option 2 sounds wiser but much more responsible but also man I want to move faster.

It IS worth noting that some of these areas have seen some drastic gentrification in recent years, and that may play into NC as well.Pros to these areas (especially those mentioned after listed zip code) are ample opportunity for fix & flips and these areas quickly transforming into Class C or Class B areas.

I bought a single-family property and lived in it for a couple of years and I spent money and time fixing it up so I could transform it into a rental, which I successfully did.
