We currently own a gorgeous duplex in Lakewood, and just purchased a 1500sq ft single family foursquare as a flip.  

@Jack Knochel That's gorgeous!

It was the worst house in a gorgeous neighborhood.

Last year I bought a gorgeous 20 acres country property in a famous small town in the middle of a forest with a 2008 built house in like-new condition. 

The first one was free and he spent about $40k in renovations and it is gorgeous and hasn't needed much in the way of maintenance in 4-5 years.

Taupe or a pink-toned beige is supposedly coming into style, but I think renters would still prefer greige, beige, tan or cream.

And the person needs to be turned in and prosecuted  LOLI am all for profit's  its how we do business.. but taking advantage of the elderly simply is not one that I subscribe too.. a 240k property that only needs 20 k in work.. is certainly NOT only worth 90k..most folks would be tickled pink to pay 150k a 240k prop that only needs 20k... had this seller simply gone to a reputable realtor and the property was exposed to the open market fair market value would have been achieved for all.Now I get Hoarder houses and super low value deals... etc etc.. especially with how intense the asbestos laws and lead paint laws have gotten.. the old days of just a wink and nob get rid of it is over.so on the face of it. some of these homes will need to go for VERY low dollars to make them viable.

Purchase price: $140,000 Cash invested: $54,330 Sale price: $260,000 Fully renovated gorgeous Colonial style home in one of Gardner's best neighborhoods.

Rochester is a gorgeous city in the summer and I really look forward to do some skiing there in the winter.

Expansive great room featuring in-ceiling speakers and a gas fireplace leads onto a gorgeous composite deck and beautifully landscaped yard.
