You need ppl who know the comps and they know what the finished product will trade for in the end.  90% of the comps sent to you by those trying to sell you the asset are soooo blown out.

You’ll also be trading off appreciation for cash flow in those areas, so make sure to keep that in mind.If you’re eyeing a B/B+ neighborhood instead—think exurbs like Adamsville or Pleasant Grove in the west and Odenville in the east—you’ll likely be limited to condos or small fixer-uppers.

just know that you will likely be INvesting cash for several years while it's stabilizing, and you may not cash flow or see any return whatsoever for 5 or 10 years or longer.to quote the princess bride - anyone who says differently is selling something.
