I've ramped up efforts to buy more lots, but it's blood sport to get the right dirt, at the right place, at the right price. 

The media will over-hype absolutely ANYTHING if it gets them more views, because that's their life blood. 

Not the sugar coated " start wholesaling your way to millions" rhetoric that 99% of these guru's preach today.  

That being said I won't sugar coat it, its not he best area but its certainly not the worst, there's plenty of data to support the investment and growth of the area, and why its been such a popular place for investors recently.Besides Darby, there are plenty of other areas for multis all over Delco.

Keep in mind that a "eye for design" is good but not as critical as other qualities such as "smelling blood" (recognize a deal when it appears) - and even more important, to think on how to make it happen at the right cost (construction costs can differ dramatically, when you take non-local labor and know how to get the materials on cheap etc).

sell your car, watch, cell phone and blood. 

It’s not worth your time and energy to try to get blood out of a turnip.

It took about 1 year from start to finish, but the rewarding feeling I got after all of the literal blood, sweat, and tears of 1 year of very hard work, was worth it all. 

Now doing that many rehabs is a little different, but 20-30 rehabs is completely feasible.I know it sounds like a lot, but, Isaac, I see and meet a LOT of new investors that just want to do their first deal or two, and seeing one that has done the first five or six and has the deep desire to grow their business just gets my blood PUMPING.
