Purchase price: $8,600,000 The Bluffs & Lakeside are 1980's vintage assets located on two unique strategic tracts.The Bluffs straddles a high-traffic thoroughfare with great frontage road with average traffic counts that exceed 37K cars daily.

I see development happening all over the place, from local companies to folks from Seattle who see the gem like you do.

You are looking at a minimum of closer to $450,000 right now unless you find a gem.

A 1975 property is not that old and while there could be asbestos and lead paint, it's doubtful one of that vintage is going to have knob and tube wiring.

I just watched Spencer Cornelia's episode, and it's absolutely a gem of an episode, and David Greene's little summaries just made it better.

It's a great way to start collecting little knowledge gems if you aren't sure where to start.

I'm actually an agent with her office so I might be biased but it's a hidden gem for sure.

I personally enjoy the process of uncovering hidden gems through research and analysis, and in finding markets before they get 'hot'.  

Yes, it won't look great in photos, but just having a photo of the outside and the realtor using words like "bones", "gem", "investor", etc. will let people know what they're in for...
