They will need to get creative to solve the problems faced, a sinking fund won't cut it and it will take decades to revive but I'm sure there are profits to be made for those who can identify the diamond in the rough. :)

But the real diamonds are the ones that mimic this house in disrepair, but you talk the owners into selling before they would end up on the MLS like this one.

I draw out circles and diamonds, lol, not Amway, but a flow chart as to what needs to be done and consider alternatives as well as what needs to happen.

Kevin and I chatted, he was very helpful, and I brought the concept to my local partners.We decided to follow that model of free networking events, and started creating the Black Diamond Real Estate Investors starting with our first meeting in Waltham, Ma.

Maybe just maybe it is a diamond in the rough.

Nice people, able to manage the paperwork, clueless on what investors care about.Agents who also invest and work with multiple other investors are diamonds.

Now obviously not all strategies will work in all markets, but I think the whole mentality of going somewhere else to invest is 9 times out of 10 a personal deficiency and not a market issue.There's a little book called Acres of Diamonds that explains this clearly.

The interesting fact was....people still bought and sold homes and needed places to dwell.A good friend once told me where's there's much confusion and uncertainty, there may be an opportunity for much profit.Make wise buying and selling decisions, and there's still diamonds on the ground.As for the rental market, I think this is a good time to own high income producing rentals.

The 2 courses I'm considering: Claude Diamond or Bill Bronchick?
