Were they a bust or are there a few gems hidden among the 10 ft by 50 ft parcels?

@Kristopher Gomez congratulations on your two recent gems!

I looked into 5 different window manufactures:  Zen Windows; Soft-Lite; Vinyl Kraft; Okna; and Ply Gem. 

About the same time I found a gem of a podcast hosted by Del Walmsley.  

We ended up not having to use a single dollar of our own money, and we now have an additional $15k in the bank for future deals and a cash flowing property all created within a 28 day period.The BRRRR method wasn't going to be utilized originally, so we owe everything to family that was able to locate a gem and provide the financing to close quickly then refinance.

And thanks Erin for digging this gem up!

Lakeland is a great hidden gem in central Florida.

So total I invested almost $1000.00 and had no deals, however, now I also don't have any headaches that may have come with either of those two deals.I took about 8 months off from looking then I ended up finding a little gem in the rough.The thing I have learned here from BP, and life, is to go with your gut.

Giovanni, I highly recommend Isaac Manzo in Orlando on New Broad Street.

Maybe bad luck.Additionally rent rates don't seem to be keeping up with the increase in price of properties so finding a good deal I'm assuming is a challenge unless you find an off market gem.
