Last # I heard was they owned 1300+ properties and there was a very un-official proposal that a contractor friend heard about before it became very semi-public, where someone wanted to make an offer to buy a HUGE number of them and was apparently putting feelers out to rehab them, but from what I heard they figured out exactly what I and a lot of other people figured out already, which is that unfortunately the ONLY outcome that makes $$$ sense for most of those homes is to bulldoze them, which is not a good outcome at all.

I will have a semi mastermind group for when I start to keep me on track.

In case it is relevant to this discussion, I live in a semi-expensive Northeast market (Seacoast New Hampshire).

Derry is home to Pinkerton Academy which is a semi-private school and is popular as well.

I usually get satin (for trim)  and semi-gloss for walls.  

So there it is in a semi nut shell ( got more detailed than I originally planned 😅).Thanks in advance for Any advice, opinions, and comments.

So you might need to think about moving or picking another strategy.I'd recommend doing rent by the room investing in markets that are in cities that are still semi-affordable.

That actually works out to 26 payments per year, versus semi-monthly (1st and 15) which is 24 payments a year.

I think they have kept that a semi insider secret for a bit .....but now with interwebs....you know, there are no REI secrets. 

We routinely had to go outside of SF proper to Daly City or even Millbrae to get something semi decent....The low-brow Chinese restaurant in some ugly strip mall next to our house in SJ serves some killer dim sum.
