Check out the free training for realtors on Facebook zero to diamond..Congratulations, Your favorite Realtor, Bruce Guerin

Real estate seems somewhat of a diamond with so many facets!

They are definitely diamonds in rough these days.

Just make sure you really know the specific streets youd like to target as areas on the north or south east corners (closer to Fishtown/Northern Liberties) will trade much differently that the NW or SW corners (closer to Temple) which will be much different than lets say 8th & Diamond. 

Not sure if I found a diamond in the rough, or a trash heap that should be avoided at all costs.

Zero down deals are like finding a diamond in your back yard. 

So - 1) nice cabinets (not custom made, but Lowes Diamond brand or similar). 2) Nice counters, quartz, not granite. 3) Step up a notch in brand recognition for the appliances, maybe LG or Bosch or whatever is considered 'cool' in your area?

Our portfolio as a whole though is currently at over $600/door just to provide some perspective... so while its a solid deal, you can find other diamonds in the rough out there that will do even better.One thing to keep in mind is that your taxes will reset once the property appraiser sees your new purchase price.  

Major Strategies Implemented:Real estate acquisitions require the talent to find the diamond in the rough.

There is also a referral on my Black Diamond site under Resources, they are very good investor friendly attorneys, but I don't know if they handle evictions.
