Typically most of the money (especially in this market) comes though purchasing a property in need of reno from a buyer not willing to put in the work/cash to reno, and then doing the work to reno it to capture that latent value.By buying a house that's already reno'd and ready to rent, you're missing out on a big portion of the potential equity-building potential of that investment, since the two big ways you build equity are through either reno or the housing market just moving up.
