Casper is my most vivid memory.

I still have a vivid memory of a Saturday morning showing years ago where they just came over because the house was listed as vacant! 

I just ordered the David Green's book and also a book called Vivid Vision which I heard from Brendon Turner's podcast last Thursday. 

@Susan Elliott it's Vivid Vision by Cameron Herold. 

For me, (brace yourself for sob story) I spent my whole childhood maintaining my father's rental properties and have vivid memories as a 7 year old and up of painting, sanding, mowing, laying carpet, and sitting in the courthouse lobby while my Dad went in to deal with evictions only to get a judgment for $25 a month.

Historical over the last 2 to 3 years tells a vivid picture.Many when trying to sell offer concessions to get tenants in and get occupancy up.I have tried to tell rehabbers who want to sell they have to get it performing for at least 6 to 12 months at the new occupancy levels to base cap rates on and asking prices.They call me and want to list to sell.They bought about 8 months ago.They got occupancy up from 30 percent to 60 percent but they now want to base asking off of 90 percent.I tell them they have to get at 90% and stay there for 6 months and then call me back.Otherwise they will need to base off of the 50% they have averaged the last 5 months.I know of another 36 unit that was rehabbed by an out of the country investor here in Ga.They did 1 million in reno's and are now asking in the 3's but have only 50% occupancy.Property looks nice but nobody in there right mind will pay that price.The hard part is not the rehab but getting occupancy up and staying there for along period of time without giving away the farm in concessions.Most of these rehabbers with multifamily bought and rehabbed and found lease up to be too hard and are trying to find a sucker to buy on POTENTIAL.I just wish so many trash listings were not out there right now.I don't take trash and will work on a seller for months before listing if I have to at the right price.

"Commit election fraud through denial of Black vote... " - Now this is the most vivid example of complete and utter BS I've ever seen in this forum.

And since I will know what the current loan rates and terms are is can predict my cash on cash return as well.Since I (vividly) remember the state all these units were in when I bought them I can now look at a new building and say: “Well I think that this building is only half as bad as that duplex.”

Detroit has a history but for it to prosper they need to start being more business oriented, giving out free water answer not allowing evictions only makes property owners run away or like history shows no property taxes paid, that creates a very vivid future for the city.

I just heard the vivid vision podcast Brandon Turner did based on Cameron Herald's book vivid vision, I would start there.
