It's all about desire and your path.Don't be fooled by other gurus out there !!!  

The reason I say that even if you do not want to go into less desireable areas, hire a property manager and you are local so you can go and check up on them by doing a pass every now and then.

The initial work into getting these houses going is beyond the desire of many investors to do.

Only 2 people recently posted that they had sales and got what they felt were decent results, but both were 20% or more less than their desired price.

From pages 786-787 "The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens the additional possibilities for coercive fertility control."

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.
