Spend a ton of times on the success stories forums too and you will pick up themes.  

That's a theme we love to use as often as possible.

I would like to transform 2-3 bedroom to super hyper Disney themed. inclusive of slide bunks, wall wrap, lighting, sound etc. has anyone done this and give insights as to the general cost?

I totally know what you mean about being more of a "do it yourself" person and I think a running theme on a lot of the podcasts is to get out there and DO IT.When I had saved enough money for a down payment on my first property I REALLY wanted to get into a duplex or tri-plex.

I've had a lot of comments on how I've used a more generic tile theme with inserting some glass tile "bling" into it. it appeals to almost everyone but give the custom finished feel people pay extra for. 

Hi  @Scott Pigman... can you tell us the outcome, if there were fines or suspension or revocation?

Also I didn't know anyother way.This was the most killer point in the entire thread:A common theme seems to be out of state investors buying cheap houses, doing $5,000 cosmetic "rehabs", renting them out, bragging about the positive cash flow for awhile and then BANG, a few months later they are back on BP, screaming bloody murder and complaining about the leaking roof that has caused a ceiling to collapse. and then we have Big @Ben Leybovich , piling on, pointing out the smeared lipstick on our $30k pigs, dancing on the dead carcass of the out of state investor, and "P r o b a b l y" wagging his "I told you so" finger at his computer screen, and grinning ear to ear as he pats himself on the back for being right again.  

When listening to investors, a common theme is to "always know your exit strategy."

Terms of use violations are subject to account suspension and phone number blacklisting.Questions?

Upon entering the dilapidated shell-of-a-home that needs to be gutted and cleared of debris, I find 30 year old insulation covering the floor of each room, warped floors, no ceiling, a leaking roof, a destroyed kitchen and an owner attempting shop his home for the highest bidder to hopefully get ARV for his hunk of junk.What I'm finding is a common theme since full blocks are being bought out and the natives being forced out to make way for hipsters, swanky little coffee shops, and inflated real estate prices.
