You buy on actual value today that has been proven over a long period of time ( years).The upside and smoke and mirrors they are selling you do not base offer price on future potential.Once some brokers/agents get the commission you are left with a dud.

Purchase inexpensive homes $5000-$20000 (I have an inexhaustible supply of these kind of homes they are not junk they are totally livable and not in need of repairs.

Most hourly rates for cleaning in my area are $15/hr if I provide supplies.  

Several years ago I had a fire in one of my units, the water and smoke damage was extensive the whole building (two unit) had to be gutted and rebuilt. after spending two months of going back and forth with my ins co I finally settled on an amount sufficient to rebuild the building.

Although, from what I understand, someone has been smoking the hookah in this place for so long that it might take a few extra layers of primer to get rid of the smell.

There were many, many condos damaged by smoke and fire.

Part of the impetus for this idea was something I heard on our local NPR station about the city incentivizing development because our population growth is far outpacing our supply.
