Or Genuine Boom?

Basically their story is box department stores and apparel is on the way out and they are leasing to new types of tenants.I also think slide 14 does a good job of summarizing the transformation.

It's impossible to predict when or how long or how much.There are a few scenarios from doomsday to a blip on the radar.One thing is time on market increasing drastically, and if a lot of sales are bank owned (repo's).Those who suffer a Repo, often do not (can not) get back in the saddle and (will be) replaced by new-bee's who (know not the dangers).So there may be a genuine cut in the number of buyers who can buy (either to rent out or to live in).Watch and see if people are doubling up, such as cousins family living in the garage or in a camper in the driveway with an extension cord kind of stuff.That will give you a boots on the ground idea if the area is "Really Suffering Hard" and will probably stay down for a while, or if it's just a flash in the pan--time wise.Home Repo's are something to keep an eye on too.Just my 2 cents.

So I don't think I'd be happiest just finding deals and not having any part of the transformation of the home.

If you sat down to make tons of phone calls vs Writing tons of letters, you will speak with more people on phone anyday than hoping some will call you back when they get your letter.Now, if you are talking about using a third party company to Send the mail for you, then you can do the same thing with dialer companies that will make thousands of calls for you (every minute) and leave voicemails to customers answering or connect them to you when they answer the phone so you speak with 50 people and hour rather than 6 an hour or even better, connect you to consumers who showed a little interest in your telemarketing call.In reality it comes down to these things:Do you want to send letters and wait for calls and speak only and only with people who has some interest in what you are offering or Can you talk to tons of people, who tell you to f off, not call them etc before you find that one customer who genuinely is glad you called.For me, i would choose the later because i like to control my own destiny and make things work.

I am a new investor looking to add more qualified buyers to build solid and genuine relationships with.

So I'm genuinely curious: what makes this a screaming good deal?

I'm not sure taking a few classes at the local community college and passing a simple test (forgive me, I'm a licensed engineer) is going to transform someone into a bastion of integrity and honor.Of course I don't think it is ok for someone to take advantage of an old person.  

Hi all, This is my first rodeo in rental business :) I am renovating a 2 units and was wondering if anyone had experience putting Granite Transformations.
