People throw around ARV like it's this magic metric or something.  

However, it doesn't seem to be a good idea to do anything inside the basement according to the posts I see here, and I don't know how that can magically resolve the damp issue.

@Josh Crockett also consider that as a buyer if you hit that magic 10 mortgages you can’t get traditional financing so sometimes either before and certainly after you get to that point seller financing just makes more sense.

Please dont let anyone convince you they have some secret sauce magic because the truth is, if they were making millions of dollars in real estate they would not be chasing after mentor students.

Binghamton is at this magical place right now where it’s a historically economically depressed area, but has a large university with a glowing reputation and sudden growth.

No wave of the magic wand.

Like I'm supposed to have magical fairy dust to sprinkle on the unit and make it work as soon as she calls me. 

@Kevin Gregg I'm NOT an accountant but I'm pretty sure that  if you are using the income generated to pay down principal on the loans you'd have to report that money as income and even if you were generating losses by the magic of depreciation you should have had a schedule K so you could write off the losses.

Or is that like trying to do magic?

Flipping stocks doesn’t just magically occur either.
