But good ones are like diamonds among the ore

Over 1,000 sq. ft. with wood-burning fireplace, private deck and garage parking just down the hill from Diamond Peak Ski Resort & within 1 mi. to golfing, Casino & private beach! 

It helps you learn to spot the "diamonds" yourself.I understand the economics of why real-estate agents can't really take every investor to a hundred properties, but looking at lots of properties (especially with an experienced agent pointing out the benefits & flaws) can help you decide where and what to buy.

If you haven't already attended a local REI event, I would highly recommend you go to the Black Diamond event next week, the local AREIA's and you're welcome to attend my next Unofficial BiggerPockets Networking Event in December.

(Searching for any meetups for networking in the next two months since the Diamond in the rough  will not be meeting in November or December in newnan ga.)I am looking for other investors who would like to collaborate on new business ventures or those needing extra investors for properties.I am open and ready to learn from anyone.Thanks for reading.

That family did live in Redondo Beach and he named a dozen streets after his daughters, Victoria, Maria, Lucia etc... then named a dozen more streets after his daughters birth stones, Diamond, Ruby, Emerald etc.

to $45k range either means you're finding that one suuuuper distressed property in a decent neighborhood and getting a deal basically just on the land ( a diamond in the rough, unlikely you'll find these with any consistency), or you're investing in some lower-tier areas.
