Or, the actual location could be terrible (like ghetto or drug area or war zone).

There is still some streets that are meh.

I'm specifically interested in "main street" properties with a downstairs retail space, upstairs apartment(s).If you know of anyone with this sort of experience, I'd REALLY appreciate the connection.

I remember reading something in the Wall Street Journal the other day that buyers lean toward modern finishes with a nod toward sustainable materials.

How did you decide which neighborhood/street/zip code to start with?

Just last month, from what I read in the Wall Street Journal, there’s been a growing interest in these more under-the-radar markets.. places like Casper that might not scream top-of-the-charts popularity, but quietly attract buyers who appreciate untapped potential.

Purchase price: $47,000 Cash invested: $7,000 Sale price: $85,000 This acquisition was especially sentimental to me because I have so many childhood memories on this street.

By the way, from what I read in the Wall Street Journal, there’s a growing number of niche investors cropping up who love grabbing assignments that fly under the mainstream radar, especially if you’re bringing something fresh to the table like a distressed duplex they can reposition, or a small portfolio of row homes they can turn into long-term rentals.
