.- What neighborhoods are up and coming and what neighborhoods are getting hammered. 

If they're lower-income, then they tend to be more... destructive, to say the least.I've actually seen a SFR where the previous owners smashed every single tile in the kitchen right in the middle with a hammer on their way out.

It was clear it was time to start stepping away from the hammer and nails part of the business. 

However with having been there for 20 years I could see her "getting creative" as the hammer came down.

@Dave MorrowLet's backup a little from asking whether your math is correct and look at the tool (or in this case metric) you have selected.If you have a 3" Robertson screw, you are not going to reach into your tool bag for a Phillips screwdriver or a hammer.  

It starts out with the presenter showing pictures of his kids and family and how he is doing this so he can spend more time with the Kiddies. then they move on and tug at all the obvious things that most people want in life always hammering on the Fact that you DESERVE to be successful and rich.

It's like the guy who brings his car to the mechanic to fix an odd rattle under the hood.The mechanic lifts the hood, takes a hammer, taps the engine and the rattle stops. 

The biggest downfall is when the next recession hits, Elkhart will probably get hammered again as they are very focused on a few luxury industries.Just make sure you buy for cash flow and not appreciation and you should be great!

Following Katrina anyone who could lift a hammer was making $15/hr and it only went to the stratosphere for skilled labourers like plumbers and electricians.   

While I can't be sure this is the case iwth your building - as there are some problems that need to be taken care of - be sure you're not taking a sledgehammer to a thumbtack.
