cyndi,if you buy an "ugly house" you just have to make sure it isn't too "ugly" and thus in need of a large amount of work.if you or a partner can do the work - and manage to spend about 6000 on materials (paint job, rugs, doors, some appliances, ceiling fans, a tile floor, and a few other splurgy/nice items) - then this strategy is definitely doable.qualifier - it's easier said than done to find these deals, because the we buy ugly houses guys buy'em all up!!

I have noticed a huge rise in condo hotels & timeshares, for a someone getting started could this be an easier way to start?

I agree John that this appears to be very thin for the investor.

I was recently looking at some news articles about Biloxi MS, ever since the hurricanes last year it appears as though the casinos are now able to build on land.

It appears that the new roof and soffits weren't vented at all.

it definitely covers alot, but the reality is these "techniques" that are referred to, i think, are easier to implement depending on where you live or plan to invest.

Again I'm sorry if I offended you, but know that my intentions were not to be a "sneaky" rat, I just thought it was easier to post it that way.

This biggerpockets forum appears outstanding!
