If you're looking for the sexiness of fixing and flipping, stick to reality TV and keep telling yourself "that looks easy, I could do that."

But Account Closed this approach isn't sexy. 

It's a light cosmetic "flip," way underpriced in a prime neighborhood and my family and I would live there until the two remaining teens head to college (about 2 years) while we fix it up.

@Ivan Lai Southside of Chicago and south suburbs is tough management so make sure you are asking the right questions to break thru sexy fronts management companies put up. 

It would be the least sexy thing on the list but plumbing is  a must.

@James HongMemphis ROI's for myself and my clients have been in the Mid-teens for over two years!

I ask if they would be willing to help the tenant on getting those trash pickup days right and I ask about lawn care; I always luck out on the lawn care, getting a neighborhood teen who mows the whole street. 

We are seeing annual returns in the mid-teens on all of our properties. 

Watch out with those Z-wave smart locks because the next thing you don’t want to happen is a prevalent scenario like,The guest checks in and decides to use the outlet to charge their phones or kids' iPads, inadvertently unplugs the hub and forgets to plug it back…Sexy time afterward.

A good sponsor will be generating mid-teens to low 20% annualized returns on average.
