Hopefully I can find that diamond in the rough!

Bad time to buy now, but keep looking anyway, you never know when that special diamond in the rough will popup.

I'm a fan of digging for diamonds in my own back yard. 

Sounds like you may have found a diamond in the rough.

I wanted to jump into multifamily investing since last year during quarintine. In February 2021, I closed on a triplex in Columbia, SC for $155k. It was not in the best shape structurally but had three tenants paying ...

I specified single family because they are a dime a dozen, and in any MLS there should be good diamonds in the rough out there outside the mainstream of shiny objects being bid up above asking by desperate buyers (sometimes mispitched in listing to the wrong category by an idiot listing agent, which a good buyer agent can find and offer on as the only offer they've gotten in the past month!) 

There’s always some diamonds if you look long enough .  

Find a diamond in the rough, fix it up, gain equity, rent it out, refinance.

Thank you @Derek Diamond

A true diamond in the rough.
