I am fluent in Ukrainian, Russian, English, and Polish and speak some French. 

If you do not separate them then any fool can throw as much cash as needed to "polish a turd".

I still have a lot to learn but have polished off most of the BP real estate podcasts and have self educated my self a lot on wholesaling (mainly from American perspectives, not sure of a lot of the differences between our laws yet in regards to wholesaling).

For example, when renovating our master bathroom, we decided to install ceiling lighting in the bedroom, which not only added much needed light, but also created an accent wall that makes our bedroom feel significantly more polished.

I haven’t met nor worked with this GC yet so take my recommendation for what it’s worth , but I had a good rapport with this Polish contractor named Tomasz Balka.

Polish the heck out of an efficiency or one bedroom.

You had a big influx of immigrants at about that time- Polish, Italian, Irish, etc.

Just keep in mind that you can spit-polish a D-class property and still get D-class tenants and D-class rent.

Upon inspecting the property after move out, I discovered the tenants had applied a polish/wax to the floors.I had two flooring experts out and they both assessed there was no way to remove the polish/wax and restore to the matte finish. 

Sometimes garbage is exactly that...but sometimes you can see that diamond in the rough and be able to polish it up and the returns will  be great!!
