I am a designer, photographer and wood worker living in Wichita.

Approach them in a friendly way, appeal to their compassionate side.  

Looking for a vacation property that I can primarily doing STR with here in NH, ideally four-season appeal (lake/ski) and then we might use it personally when it's not rented.

Here's what we're looking for:- Something close enough to appeal to ND graduate students and/or mid-wage ND workers.- Close to downtown- Upward mobility of neighborhood (likelihood for appreciation)- Not currently overpriced (Twyckenham, Corby, etc.)- Class C+ to B area currentlyAny ideas?  

My situation is pretty simple and the cost of turbotax business is very appealing.

Fix-and-flip", to me, should be more cosmetic than that, a "lipstick on a pig" approach to increase curb and interior appeal without so much actual replacing stuff.To me a "rehab" is gut to the studs, maybe take out walls to open the layout, put up all new drywall, etc., update plumbing and environmentals, all new kitchen and baths, etc.In some places, electrical, plumbing, etc. must be up to code just to resell.David J Dachtera

But places like Ironbound, North Newark and Forest Hill are place that I find appealing. 

On the day of final walk-thru after moving out, i documented and photographed all the damages.

So this concept definitely appealing .  

Trying to stay close to the highways, which isn't too hard in this city, and close to Shrewsbury Street/ Rt 9 area was my thoughts, both for personal preference and for the appeal to potential tenants.Any tips you encountered on this path would be awesome as I will probably encounter many of your experiences.Thanks, and best of luck!
