Owner finance defeats both those desires.

It's just not a realm of real estate I desire to participate in and something the author of this post should consider.

If you truly have the desire it will happen.

In my experience, at about 20 years old, most houses either need these things replaced or the 20-year-old look of the fixtures/cabinets makes it desirable to replace.Just some things to think about.

This could be because the buyer(s) are owner occupants and don't care about "the numbers," it could be that the buyer(s) are newbie investors who aren't good at doing "the numbers," or it could be that the buyer(s) have some knowledge or experience where they'll be able to offer more than everyone else and still make their desired profit.So really, it's just a competition among those outliers, not all the offers.

A postive attitude and a desire to do what you really want are REQUIRED to do this.

You can get one property in a less desirable area for about $200,000 in places where you and me wouldn't like to live.

I am strictly buy and hold forever (unless the market heats up enough to make buying and holding less desirable than cashing out) After two years, my opinion is that SFH are a pain in the ***.

They won't understand it and if they have a desire to try, it will take them a day or two to do it.

Their desire for more and more in upcomming years is going to be very hard on the middle and upper classes.
