There are some really rough areas and some real gems.

However, I'm ok filtering out those gems as long as I'm not paying for 'other asset' estate data.We on the same page now?

The surrounding properties are not perfect, but farrrrr better looking than this gem.

Charelston SCthese are just a few I am sure I left out a couple other gems.. but for LONG TERM investing IE own it until its free and clear these are the states and areas I personally would prefer to have a paid for asset as I know in 30 years I will have protected my principal and have made in or give it a 95% chance a boat load of equity on top of the drip cash flow.

Friday Fun!!  What would you do to update this room?  

Have yet to attend any REIAs, but tentative plans are to BRR and seek out fix-and-flip gems. 

It's a great hustle and you can really uncover some gem deals other investors miss.

I’m not going to say “stud,” but if you dig a little you can certainly find some gems. ...just my opinion.

You can find some off market gems if you put in the work.Calculate rent/expenses as if you weren't occupying to assess the deal then figure out what you would be paying out of pocket.

It's a hidden gem that if you have the experience to take it on has huge payoffs.
