just make sure you have a approval letter of financingthen you are a cash buyerthe market is tough with the folks that just buy to buymake sure you are looking for the diamond in the rough properties ya know the ones nobody wants to work on- they are everywhereyou need to do a lot of neighborhood driving but it does payoffenjoy

Finding a bunch of Mercury dimes in a former bank might be one thing, finding a hollow brick in the crawl of a house formerly owned by an embezzler might be another, given the statute of limitations on the crime.Good thing we're speaking hypothetically.The best find I ever made was a stash of rings and pins, all gold and some with diamonds, hidden between floor boards and under carpet I was replacing (in a rental just purchased).One ring was a very old high school class ring with initials inscribed on the inside.

The only positive in this class for me is that I purchased them for cheaply and the tenants have paid the mortgage off so I can afford to wait for the “diamond in the rough.”

They are white Diamond brand.How much was the deposit, and if you keep, how much, if any, will you be out of pocket? 

That said I finally got in the home and it is a disaster (my diamond).

Yes that's Diamond Head for you non kamaainas. 

Look for area code: *04, *05 and *10.Black Diamond meeting is free in Worcester.

I guess it's possible to find that diamond in the rough off market with a very desperate seller but nothing that you can build a real strategy around. 

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.
