I worked like a charm.

I was feeling like I had to come up with one amazing, all-encompassing "why", but really there are so many different reasons I have to invest in real estate. 

but everyone who has raves about how all-encompassing it is.

Works like a charm cuz "cash flow is good!"

I'm always open to other opportunities as well but I like the charm of old buildings, classic cars, antiques and other old junk I guess hahaha.

This boat is really charming and since I am in the bus tour business as well as being a property manager it seems like a great opportunity for me to do tours on land and sea.

This particular home was built in 1908, and the house description uses many buzzwords about "newer" this or "improved" that while also using "charm" (read - old).

Use your charm dude.2) Risky, and people in here will say no, but you could offer to put it under contract with a 1 year close date.  

Also, you do not get to know how much the rent will be until you go through the entire process... then at the end they say take it or leave it.Bob      Charming!

They've bought a few in up and coming neighborhoods and fix them up to the level of current residents instead of putting a little more $ in and getting higher rents and better tenants +that like the charm of an older home if it's fixed up nicely.
