I’m going to dig a little more to refresh my memory, that’s Deb S.

After joining some other forums that primarily promoted guru after guru it was refreshing to find BP.

The key for me was flooring, paint, countertops, appliance refresh.- Budget was $8k per unit on average and I rehabbed the first unit after an eviction- When a lease would expire, I would offer the renter market rent without a move or to move to my rehabbed unit at market rent. 

New builds, addition, refresh an 80's house, build an ADU, ... all different skill sets/markets here.

- while an excellent goal in itself -  is often sensed by those around us as a negative.I love your energy and sense of confidence - and challenge you to consider REI as a team sport - whoever collaborates best....wins.An old Japanese proverb says "The quickest way to the finish line....is to take the detour."

Thank you for the refreshing, direct, no frills answer.

e.g. the only possible way you can make a SF cash flow is by buying distressed (not just a light cosmetic refresh), but I see some investors want a turn key @ 15-20% down; there's some disconnect somewhere. 

My wife (Japanese) and I just moved back from Tokyo a few weeks ago.  

It's refreshing to speak with someone in the legal arena that has knowledge and understanding tax sales and foreclosures.

That's very refreshing to hear Jessy.
