Looking at rents in the area if we rented the basement besides living there right now we could get 800 or 900 I believe once we do the renovations it will bring the rent up to 1,000-1,100 max because newly married couples in school are looking for the cheapest but “cute” place.

Coffee shops and cute downtowns are nice but theses towns may not have great schools for kids etc.

Owner occupant buyers don't care as much about the ARV when they buy if they plan to live there for 20-30 years with their kids, cute dog, grandma, etc ... they can almost assume it will be worth more by the time they go to resell years down the road.

Guy/Gal who needs to sell their house fast for cash doesn’t care about your company, your neat graphic and your well thought out color scheme.

@Casey RozenbergHey Casey, I do websites for small businesses and real estate investors (along with graphic design, logos, branding etc.)

I am looking at purchasing a sign and graphic design business from someone who is retiring, but how will this type of business do during a recession? 

Nobody has anything good to say about real estate who hasn't been involved in real estate.I took the plunge about nine months ago by buying a duplex near Larchmont Village and selling our cute house in Echo Park.

Public affairs, journalism, graphic design, photography and videography.The whole nine.

Also, the graphic you shared is a great visual.
