Hello @Becky Hiu & @Cherian KoshyI'm new to researching the DSM market and particularly interested in the Drake sub market, so browsing through forums looking for gems, and thought I'd try to revive this years-old post... 

Specifically, in my area there are homes on the older side of town that are very desirable because while they are not on the up and coming side, they are in what I call "little gems" boasting large yards and great neighbors.

A few things I can make out:Pts(too high), brokerage(2K-too low), 1910 vintage home-red flag, plumbing, structure, termite, fungus, electrical, foundation ..... 

So maybe you do have a gem in your hands that others have overlooked. good luck! 

Hi guys, I'm finding - from the wholesaler perspective - that downtown Philly has been picked clean of gems, and what's left behind is vacant shells with loads of code violations, outstanding  property taxes and high water and gas utilities balances.Folks in Fishtown, Brewerytown, Northern Liberties, Fairmount, etc. don't seem motivated because (a) owners there aren't in distress and/or (b) owners know their neighborhood's property prices are appreciating. 

#CLEWe see a large influx of West Coast coming to CLE for real estate, we are the last hidden gem in the Mid-West you can still buy in the suburbs under $100K and have a rental ratio that is very favorable.Check us out, come visit, I think you will be impressed with what you see.

Great little gem in the South Shore!

Just have to be really good at time management and ability to sift through the gems. 

Target an area and go knock on doors, uncover those hidden gems then let everyone know you have them; build your own buyers list.

There are gems in here, but you have to look.
