Have you (or anyone else on BP reading this) ever utilized the full spectrum of Lowe's kitchen remodeling services?

In today's capital markets, or should I say lack there is of, there no longer is a full spectrum or array of funding solutions for all types of borrowers, credit, collateral types, etc.

You have to know your target demographic, appeal to them while still doing a very tasteful rehab that compliments the existing architecture.I did small multi-units in LA for thirteen years, as well as SFHs across the entire budget spectrum, budget to multi-million dollar homes, interior to exterior, and specialized in kitchens and baths.

I buy them for pennies on the dollar, go right through them, and get the higher end of the rent spectrum when I am done.  

It depends on who the buyer is...I've had buyers who don't care about anything I have to say...they just want to see the property and get my price.On the other end of the spectrum, I've done a wholesale deal where I held the buyer's hand to get an inspection, do a financial analysis, put together a scope of work, get contractor bids, and then help manage the project.

It is a good mix and really offers a lot of options from both poles of the banking spectrum.

CT is a pretty liberal state, AZ is at the other end of the spectrum with all kinds of opinions, especially speaking constitutionally from ideas formed by who knows who.

They are wanting mainly passive cash flow.On the higher end of the spectrum you say a 3 unit with Starbucks, Aspen Dental, and T-mobile all with 10 year leases that are brand new.

Curt has some good points... talk to someone who has owned one of these for 24 months. and rental guarantee's ( have led many a company down the tube financially) I personally know of 3.. that went under trying to guarantee rents and actually honored the guarantee's..others like Richard Mentioned are out their and they are to be avoided as well... shop to you drop... talk to the horses mouth and choose the high end of the spectrum reality is very few rentals no matter were they are at do much better than 8 to 9% caps.. and you can get that close to home you may want to start there first. then work your way out to other areas..

Desirability from buyer's point of viewEvery transaction is priced at a discount relative to lack of items on the desirability spectrum.
