I have stopped investors from making bad buy's, saved them thousands on repairs, I have Meet and missed deadlines, Picked out tile and picked up dog crap.

Betting on appreciation is a crap shoot that I would bet on.  

(You should see some of the crap I get in the mail) MF investors typically aren't as easily found with their back against a wall.

When crap hit the fan, we didn't have to think about what to do, we just did it.

Depending on the size of the county - many properties are posted - a lesser amount actually get to actual Auction as owner has until last minute to clear up the deficiency or some type of legal maneuver is filed to forestall the actual sale. you'll actually see some properties Pulled and a month or so later it shows up again.It's a real "crap shoot" as to what you can buy - and you have to PAY CASH that Day if you are successful in winning the bid.Sheriff's Tax Sale are another animal as well with "Right Of Redemption".  

tileyou can put it in and it lasts and lastsnever worry about stains, water damage, or some vinyl crap that is not quality- under 5 a foot-they are renting space- if they want floor coverings then let them buy throw rugs- if your worried on getting it rented with no floor coverings then go stage it with some throw rugs, let the tenant know that your rugs are your rugsenjoy

Value is a bit more subjective, but think about selling two identical properties, one with a crap roof that and one with a new roof.  

Read Books that will change your thinking from "Theres no deals here to I will find that one that someone missed"Asses your life to see how much crap you can cut out of it.

I assumed I would meet it until I paid a bunch of bum contractors who didn't get permits to do crap work, dissapear with my cash, then new bum contractors to keep charging me for redoing their crap work that didn't pass inspection.
