Most flips I see here in Milwaukee average a 10%-15% profit (yes, there are some home-run deals too).

I think this technology will continue to improve over time giving more battery power and additional capabilities.Even the less expensive brands have worked well in our communities, I guess we will see how they compare over the next few years.

just to be clear here.. if all other townhomes are 250k then it wouldn't be worth 350k.. you cant make value go up.. there has to be comparable sales.. so if there are other updated townhomes going for 300k or so then you could upgrade and get similar.. but value is only supported by comps.. you never want to be most expensive in neighborhood.
