When they eventually move out, I plan to do a full renovation to bring the unit up to high-quality standards and maximize its rental potential.I’m happy to connect if you ever want to chat.

Goes back to that original thesis in a thread long time ago-- quality over quantity.

I don't know how difficult of a task this would be, but suspect it would make for better quality forum content. 

It's just a bad business.

Im hoping to find an investor to help me buy the lot next to mine so i can move up from doing tax deeds.. if not i have my next lot picked out and will continue to invest in them while i fix my credit and learn more on investing.. i have always wanted to be successful in life but drugs and bad choices have kept me from it.. now im proud to say there is nothing that will stand in my way of realizing my dreams Just following up.

I don't allow any infomercial-style sales pitches at our meetings (ok, it might not be that bad but I just imagine some events being like an informercial!)  

I’m at the stage now where I’m shifting my focus to cost of living and overall quality of life in each area.

How bad is this going to continue to hold back the CRE market?

@Serge Hounkponou Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

@Bhushan Shinkre  I was speaking about fraud against your tenant sort of like passing bad checks, but I don't know if you can do that.
