These are things cash buyers and future home buyers (who will likely finance via banks) are wanting to see proof of even if the surrounding properties aren't presently at their aesthetic best.  

Afternoon Everyone I’m looking at properties in pre-foreclosure estimated value is 465,000 original loan was for 326,463 the beauty is there’s 138,537 in equity the owner has been served an nod non payment of $17463....can someone walk me through how to make this work full disclosure I have not reach out to the owner yet just the details I was able to pullOr is it better to find something with a lower original loan and default can you purchase the default the default amount or does it because a discount off the original loan that the owner still has to pay?

Use words in the listing to indicate that maybe it is not for small children without ever mentioning age: A freshly rehabbed unit including newly painted in a beautiful delicate white. 

Lake Nottely is beautiful. 

The beauty is you have control of your investments.

It took 1 year to get all of the offices and the 7 extra parking spaces leased out, but now it cash flows beautifully. 

It sold quickly as it was VERY beautiful, plus, it appraised for sales price TWICE even as the price was $15K more than the ARV in May.

Couldn't be to a more beautiful place.

I may later this month with a rehab, but I have no experience yet.However, I agree that having an exposed tank in a living area is not aesthetically pleasing. 

Seems that these are often ridiculously cheap - but I'm thinking the market knows more than I do and they are cheap for a reason.Churches are often beautiful buildings in great shape, but are very awkward to convert into a SFH or apartments.Schools tend to be large projects requiring significant resources to remodel into apartments or senior facility and can be either in decent shape or quite run down.Masonic halls are often very similar to commercial buildings but usually need a lot of rehab.Also many of the bargains are in economically depressed or low/no growth areas.But still the price on these can be so low that getting positive cashflow should be easy.And there may be LIHTC (low income housing tax credits) available - anyone managed to snag any of those?
