Have you ever cut a slab with a saw, done a simple bullnose, and  polished the edge using diamond abrasive pads on a variable speed polisher?

Locally, reach out to @Marina Draper, she specializes in Real Estate Investors, and you can also meet her at our Black Diamond events coming up shortly.  

Sadly, there are not too many diamonds in the rough.

I host Black Diamond Real Estate Investors, which alternates between Burlington Marriott and Worcester at Leo's Ristorante. 

Sometimes assets (properties, diamonds, oil wells) must be sold to pay said debts.

By the time you pay attorneys and find them, you will just be trying to get a diamond from a stone.

Instead of competing with the cash buyers, I'd suggest looking at those properties that are sitting and see if there might be a diamond in the rough.  

I'd dig for diamonds in my own back yard before roaming the world.

@Meon Diamond have you looked into house-hacking a small multi family to start out?

I don't plan on ignoring the potential diamonds in the rough (everyone had to start somewhere), but I am going to be damn sure not to ignore my VIPs.Don't exclude people because they're not VIPs.
