The long and short, we average 27% return, have gained many properties that did not pay us back, it varies but typically 90-97% pay us back, some of those that dont pay are empty lots or slivers, but have had several gems over the time we have invested in them.  

I tend to think those that don't might be hidden gems, so maybe there's hope yet :) 

So maybe you do have a gem in your hands that others have overlooked. good luck! 

Target an area and go knock on doors, uncover those hidden gems then let everyone know you have them; build your own buyers list.

There are gems in here, but you have to look.

I think there are still some gems in Pawtucket but its disappearing quickly. got a multifamily under contract in october 2016 for 170. not the best deal but we really loved the place. comparables now are in the 200-210 range. 

I haven't been able to spot any gems yet.

Hey everybody...I stumbled across an absolute gem recently.

Hi guys, I'm finding - from the wholesaler perspective - that downtown Philly has been picked clean of gems, and what's left behind is vacant shells with loads of code violations, outstanding  property taxes and high water and gas utilities balances.Folks in Fishtown, Brewerytown, Northern Liberties, Fairmount, etc. don't seem motivated because (a) owners there aren't in distress and/or (b) owners know their neighborhood's property prices are appreciating. 

Just have to be really good at time management and ability to sift through the gems.
