I suppose those of us that are trying to keep the turnkey name out of the mud just sort of hope those people will eventually get weeded out because investors will stop falling for it...

I would guess, as mentioned, you’d need additional an waterproofing “mud slab” below it.

Lumber drywall tile mud etc.Shipping...delivered and stocked..or by way of contractor or customer pick up haul it stock it .

I just found out who Frank was not to long ago because of his various posts slinging mud & grasping at straws.

I do feel like my market dictates that I take tenants with undesireable history and for the most part I have been successfull doing that. 

This is just what I have gathered doing research so far, but I would love to hear more from anyone on what their views are on my research, as with everything I am researching in real estate its all "clear as mud"

If you could get 405k but it only costs 2.5k more to do throughout, then it's worth itI'd do laminate throughout if  having carpet  keeps you on the market longer, theres lots of competition with no carpet, carpet undesired in your market, or you make less money by doing carpet

My first response may have made it about as clear as mud, so I will try again.

There are many investors who are very successful with properties in undesireable locations.

I just refinanced existing stuff at low rates, and have been mostly been on the sidelines.For middle class housing, in the past, a good rental was often in a desirable school district, but had some other undesirable trait so you could buy it cheaply, below the rest of the market.
