For example, most of my pre-habs that fall into the #2 category are hoarder houses -- they are packed floor to ceiling with trash/furniture/personal items, and by cleaning out the house, other investors can start to see the potential, which automatically increases the resale value to those investors.Generally, #2 above only works if there are some major obstacles to other investors seeing the potential in the property.
