I have a lot of houses that my friends with say is "high crime", but that is because it is areas they would not live and do not understand.

Friend of mine has owned a 4-unit brownstone in NYC for the last 20 years.

Focus on potential profit margins and market trends.Be Local: Understanding micro-markets within these neighborhoods can mean the difference between a good flip and a great one.Network: Partner with investor-friendly agents, contractors, and wholesalers who know how to find and secure off-market deals.Nashville's real estate market continues to thrive, and these neighborhoods are at the center of the action.

@Jeff Sitti  I hope you are a true friend to this person.
