This partnership will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in transforming undervalued properties into profitable assets.My investments will be further secured through the use of an escrow account.

In blackjack, you have a 4-5% advantage over the house which transforms into 10-20% ROI into 2000-20000% ROI.

*******************************************************The first of 5,000 new homes in Blossom Rock at Superstition Vistas will start selling next year on a swath of a 275-square-mile site expected to transform the southeast Valley.

In the old days, the barriers to entry for securities trading were high (think brokerage commissions) whereas in real estate there was this allure of the no money down "creative" deal that could transform a penniless person living under an overpass into a mogul with a yacht, big house and scores of bikini babes (yes, the marketing was mainly to a male audience back then and still for the most part today though that seems to be changing a bit).

Living in the property for a couple of years might change things as it could potentially offer some tax advantages, like capital gains exemptions but it might not immediately transform a negative cash flow into a positive one.If your primary goal is to generate immediate positive cash flow from rental income, considering other locations with more favorable conditions might be worth exploring.

Do legal permitted work, people sleep in these structures.Knob and tube wiring is not ok, there too many reasons to unpack in these threads but some are, no grounding, old annealed copper, improper insulation, switched neutrals and speration of power and neutral creates an electro magnetic coilElectricity does not flow through a conductor it flows around a conductor (that's how a transformer works) Do not take building advice from investors.And as Mathew stated tennants should NEVER go in an attic.Manage your risk, ignorance is no excuse when in front of a judge.
