It tells me you know if a diamond field and folks need to roll up their sleeves, start turning over rocks to find those diamonds, polish them up, and then sell them or rent them.

Check diamond mortgage.

However, I do offer my investors another option should they wish to realize a real 10% return over a longer time periodLong Term with Monthly PaymentsI've carved out a unique niche in running "Recovery Houses" for recovering addicts & alcoholics (I've published more info on this at my REI Diamonds Podcast on iTunes).The Recovery House business (Recoverytown) produces larger than average cash flows from single family houses.  

@Joseph Lucas  Yes, I picked up this diamond in the rough about 2-1/2 weeks ago.  

There are many in the Boston area:My own Black Diamond, url in my signatureMassrealestate.net run by @Mike HurneyNEREIA.comBostonAREIA.comMyEasternMassREIA.comHouse Flipping School run by @Mike LaCavaBoston Investor Meetup run by @Justin SilverioThere are plenty of others, these are just some of them2. 

The best one to get out to is the Black Diamond meeting in Worcester (they alternate every month with their Waltham location, April is a Worcester month).  

Black Diamond in Waltham is great..Also look on Meetup.com for "Real Estate Investors of Metro West" and "Boston Real Estate Connection".

Do you attend the Black Diamond events in either Waltham or Worcester?

Or it might be low priced because it is in an area where you would not want to live (commute issues, crime, too industrial, etc).That said there can be the diamond in the rough.

@Kenneth Hynes  driving your area is a great idea, ive started doing i on weekends and already am narrowing down zip codes and discovering neighborhoods that are perfect, spotting diamonds in the ruff is impossible behind a keyboard
