., Pony Down, Best Friends, Black Mafia Family and the Chambers Brothers.[36] The Young Boys were innovative, opening franchises in other cities, using youth too young to be prosecuted, promoting brand names, and unleashing extreme brutality to frighten away rivals.[37]Several times during the 1970s and 1980s Detroit was named the arson capital of America, and repeatedly the murder capital of America.

The "ain't broke don't fix it" motto was never uttered by great innovators.

I just bought my first foreclosure in Nov 2014 and am learning all the wrong ways to do this (really!)! 

   @Nick Rose Welcome to BP@Joe Villeneuve is a good contact in your area with some innovative strategies

I will share something that you find helpful that I recently came across as people can be very innovative when they want to be and, by way of full disclosure, I am thinking about participating with the group as I think the demand is great.

@Pete Jannello, NY while it may be a bit overpriced , there are always deals to be had if you put the work in, remember you just have to be creative , be innovative enough to find motivated sellers, people always sell and offload properties for a whole host of reasons, retirement , job transfer, relocation, estate sales, divorce, off market,even those with criminal ramifications are fair game and a viable source of deals.

Instead, you need to see the overlooked opportunities that are all around you and act on the vast sums of untapped income and unclaimed success just waiting to be harnessed.You probably spend too little time studying the most successful, innovative and profitable ideas people in other industries use to grow and prosper.Yet, if you start focusing on other industry’s success practices, you’ll be amazed at how easily you can adapt these ideas to your own business situation.Suddenly, you’ll see significantly better ways to produce significantly better results from the same time, manpower, effort, activity, and capital.Vision isn't easy.As a result, most people let the opportunity of a lifetime slip through their fingers & live to regret it; but in this case I could make it easy for you to Not let this one slip away so that you can take advantage of this unique opportunity with zero risk.Instead, you need to see the overlooked opportunities that are all around you and act on the vast sums of untapped income and unclaimed success just waiting to be harnessed.In a recessionary economy like this, some 30 million people could be out of work -- they lost their jobs, got put on shortened work week.Millions will be (or are, right now) aggressively looking for business opportunities they can purchase or start.Though most of them don't have a lot of cash to invest, they still need income, they need work, they need productive activity that makes them money and keeps them feeling worthwhile.I believe there’s not one business owner or startup I’ve ever met in North America (and probably the world) who couldn’t, who shouldn’t broaden their perspective and think about how to grow yourself a small or large business empire.And that can mean nothing more than multiplying the size of your current business many times through external leveraged buyout acquisition activities.Or it can mean multiplying it through a roll up.Or it could mean buying complimentary-type product and service businesses.Most people in business - or wanting to start their own business - set their sights too low.They’re often content merely to have a so-so business that makes them a barely livable income.But why start a business that has a one in thirty chance of even making it five years –when you can acquire a solidly profitable existing business that’s a huge, proven moneymaker that has a high certainty of working - using none of your own capital?
