Then they blew out the old double garage making it into a massive kitchen, added a 3.5 car coach house & made the original tired old kitchen/dining room/1/2bath/hallway into a ground floor master bedroom with an ensuite.

I would be curious to know who buys deals like that..this is just one but most of them are like that unless you get something all gone in 10-15 k and do massive rehab.

I sold it after many years, and right after I sold it they took out a massive loan to do renos. 

@Michael BonannoTurnkey properties are a good choice for new investors but it is important to realize that the majority of the value has already been created, so you will not see massive appreciation.

It takes two years of being late to have this happen and while I agree it should not be massive profits, people pay their taxes because they know what will happen from hearing about it. 

Instead I am offering to take you under my wing, provide you with the materials (stamps, envelopes, lists, mailers, etc) you need to be successful and then hold you accountable for taking massive action. 

We're probably not going to see the massive appreciation that took place over the last 5-10 years, but there are still cash-flow + modest appreciation opportunities out there.  

The fact that a massive 15 building complex is just sitting there, blows me away.

Once we narrowed it down a little and learned more about the area, we saw that Publix is putting in a massive new grocery store right down the road which confirmed the fact that this town is growing.Another valuable tool that I am working to establish now is building a good personal relationship with an appraiser in areas that you are interested in investing in.

I like your strategy of buy and hold for the long run like Warren Buffet.
