I plan to turn a run-down house no one wants into a beautiful and desirable property that other women will fight over.

Adjusted for inflation, the prices of homes in a desirable location appreciate more than average wages. 

And most regret it.I'll make the opposite case: it is VERY hard to screw up when buying i.e. a duplex in good condition in a desirable neighborhood and either self-manages or hire a quality PM to manage.To any new investor who is reading this: In real estate cost and risk have an inverse relationship.

While the property's location was desirable, it was evident that the house had been neglected for several years.

Expensive markets are often desirable because many people want to live there, driving up demand and prices.Reno, NV, for instance, is a market that benefits from diversified employment sectors, including tech manufacturing, hospitality, and recreation.

From our experience, it is typically within a month of their desired move-in date.

Lake side homes are more desirable for short term rentals in this area but not impossible to accomplish.

@Jake AndronicoAs desirable areas near city centers become more expensive and densely populated, there will be a resurgence of suburbs located approximately 10-30 miles outside major cities.

True scale benefits only begin with properties of 50+ units.When buying in a low cash flow scenario, make sure you’re in a desirable area where equity growth is likely.

Maybe we could combine our desire for a meetup in the Huntington area work on getting people to attend together.
