@Jerry Bredesen Cheapest fix would be some nice flowers and plants to liven up the lawn.If you wanted to spend a little more, paint the house to get rid of that boring old brick color and give the house some pop.If you want to get crazy, I’ve always felt houses with tiny windows have poor curb appeal.

Depending on your attitude and your level of faith and honesty that also can be difficult because at least half the time you spend with sellers you have to be a little dishonest with the seller with your actual intention of what you are really up to. 

Hi Everyone,I operate my business in the Indianapolis area, and I'm working on some goal setting and would like some feedback from other companies similar to mine around the country.I'm looking for others that typically wholesale, or quickly flip (close and resale) to generate revenue for their business.Looking for wholesalers or professional home buying companies that spend a bare minimum of $5,000 a month in marketing.Please do not use this as an opportunity to brag or show how successful you are or how much money you spend on marketing.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance!

One important item of a good answer would be knowing your goals  If the answer of yours is that these are on a short term investment I would tell you to sell both units if it is a hot area and is a sellers market there I would probably say to sell both of them as soon as possible if the seller's market continues and I might not spend your own or borrowed money before you sale.  

A lot of that occurred after the recession or in very rough markets, or extremely rural markets.Now if you are talking a normal market, and an investor who is not already independently wealthy from some other business and has a ton of cash to spend, I imagine the podcast episode would sound like this:Host - Tell me how you got started.Guest - I saved up cash until I had enough for my first investment.

And you can't be afraid of spending some money for the rehab work, we're about to get into the rehab. 

These are a collection of things that I have addressed: Before you acquire any property, spend some time reading a lot of articles and forum posts to get a grasp on the different ways you can make money in real estate.

Thanks for the mention, @Dmitriy Fomichenko.If I knew a generic answer to your question, @James Maness, I would've been a very rich man, spending 5 minutes a day copy-pasting this answer to every email I receive.There will be some people replying to this question, telling you their stories - how they got out of the rat race.

I went to elementary, middle and high school in the DFW area and graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in Advertising.My mom, brother, sister, dad, niece and nephew all still live in the DFW area and I visit them as often as I can and usually spend Christmas in DFW.
