Thanks @Derek Diamond, Commercial Direct was fast, thanks for the suggestion.

@Derek Diamond: thank you for the ideas!

Has anyone encountered inaccurate information like this, or is it possible that some folks are so motivated to sell (in such a bull market, it gives me pause) that there really are diamonds in the rough out there.I'd appreciate any experience/insights people might have.Thanks.

Here is my first diamond in the ruff.

Many many times I’ve thought I found a certified diamond In the rough but when I actually toured the building it was a waste of time money and energy .

It's exactly the kind of structure that I like to run by some of the more receptive real estate agents in town here.For example, I look for the "diamond in the rough" houses.

Needless to say, I don't want to LOSE money but if 5 years down the road I will have made a few dollars from appreciation while covering costs during that time, I'd be happy enough with that.That being said, I am still looking for that diamond in the rough, but I know this one is not going to give me huge returns. 

Black Diamond is hosting the former Mayor of Worcester Tim Murray, who is currently the Executive Director of the Worcester Chamber of Commerce. 

Sellers are diamonds in the rough.
