However there may be a couple diamonds in the rough online if the rents you see the seller advertising are far less than what your research tells you they can be in the area, especially if you can rehab the place.As for your duplex here's a thought. 

I spend years working odd jobs, from sewing in factories, cutting diamonds, baking doughnuts, etc.

That would be a diamond in the ruff thanks for the imput!

I have the funds to get started, its bridging that gap and finding that diamond. 

I agree that it is speculative though, but with enough cash to explore options, it could be a diamond in the rough.Does anyone have strategies for determining the risk of a specific tenant before making a purchase? 

Other great advantage of Berber carpet is the variety of color, mixed color and designs, florals diamond, squared patterns and such.

@Ann Bellamy your next Burlington Black Diamond meeting is on my list of attending! 

Double black diamond would have killed me and maybe someone else too.  

@derek diamond Thank you for your great input!

Purchase price: $145,000 On this diamond in the rough, we negotiated 30k off of ask to increase client's margin on his first flip.
