IE the Coast type markets.Since rents really don't go up a ton in these areas they stay fairly static along the section 8 lines.. no way to push pricing down to create higher yields when rents don't really move.. so investors have to settle for less return.. in the long run should create some appreciation.. and that has certainly manifested itself on the wholesale side of things with every body and their brother wanting to do that.. and just keep pushing prices.. rehab is rehab those prices have gone up some.. but end of the day the props will only sell for what an investor will settle for for a given cash flow return. since virtually none of this goes to owner occ.. its more commercial in nature.

To replace your day job income you need bread and butter homes where people with jobs like to live.

No body gets to do that if we are all sittign at home 24/7!

New address numbers and nicer light above front door.Not sure about repainting the house body - we came up with this color 4 years ago which was difficult due to the brick and roof and I dont hate it?

That sounds like an impressive body of work; any interesting findings you can share with us?
