Just like an investor knows how to spot a diamond in the rough, you can probably do the same with a PM company.

Hi @Carmen Ruiz I’ve attended and liked Black Diamond REI in Mass. but it’s not exactly the Methuen area per se.

I take no sides and have no emotional involvement in real estate other than when I made a purchase and saw the "diamond in the coal" rehab possibilities.

Because, house hacking is comparatively simple and beginner-friendly (and therefore has the highest likelihood of success), but strategies like BRRR'ing, flipping, wholesaling, out of state investing, etc. are far more complicated, and have a far higher chance of failure because they involve so many "moving pieces".I always use this analogy: would you tell a beginner skier who has zero experience to ski a double black diamond (the most advanced terrain) for their first run?

Millions Diamond Program?

Anyone up for a coffee at diamonds cafe Saturday morning?

However, I always get confused on what to do with properties that appear to be diamonds in the rough but they have water in the basement.

I host a free networking group called Black Diamond, here is a link to the next free meeting tomorrow in Waltham, we get about 100 real estate investors at each meeting.

The most beat up property could be a diamond in the rough for the right rehabber.
