In fact, buying only 3 or 4 houses on a particular street can change that entire street around.At what point do you become a slum lord though?

:)While many of them are gone now, I still remember how back in 2008-2009 (and even up until a few months ago), many here were predicting record bank closures, riots in the streets, runs on food and ammo, DOW going to 0, etc.And they were telling those of us who didn't buy into it that WE were crazy...I'm not saying that the underlying problems with the economy are fixed (they're not) or that things won't get worse in the future (they may), but many people just have a hard time seeing the big picture and imagining a future that is different than the present...

That is hogwash spread by banks because they don't have access to the free Wall Street money they used to have access with.

Currently there is a house across the street from me that was a foreclosure that is for sale for $10,000 it is an older 3 bedroom home that two years ago would have probably sold for $50,000 the area I am in has one duplex and two single family homes that are rented all most constantly.

If you can get the water to the street and it has some place to go from there, maybe you can fix it.How is the water getting inside the garage?

This is especially important inside of a large complex with their own streets.

I understand unless you have a RE license you can't get your property on the MLS, where else do you all advertise besides putting signs up at a few nearby street corners or hiring a realtor?

The Gather Bar at Galvanize 1062 Delaware Street, Denver, CO 80204 from 7pm - 9pmSorry again!

It literally is one street of apartments, I wouldn't consider it the slum but I would say its cheaper living.I still plan on meeting with the tenants and asking them how they like the area/landlord/building.

*Obviously if you did this the advert would have to be unobtrusive to the person living there and still marketable to street traffic.Just some ideas on ways to make properties more profitable, what does everyone think?
