So a bank might appraise one of these uS construction homes at $600K because they can point to a few 2400 sq foot homes in the area that have sold recently but the reality is nobody will buy it for that because there are better quality lower cost alternatives in the area.

Just got an email that the two largest giants of outsourcing will be merging together.I think there's better quality foreigners on Odesk and better American quality workers on Elance.Hope the technology sees a huge boost!

What quality of jobs are being created ?

Blinds were shipped to my door, quality was good and they're now installed with only minimal cursing on my part.

Buying on a good or bad block will not only affect the quality of tenants you get but also the appreciation in value.I have a contractor I can recommend - he did a rehab on our OO home this summer, and I would really suggest finding an agent who is familiar with the areas you are looking in.

Expenses that may result in a betterment to your property include expenses for fixing a pre-existing defect or condition, enlarging or expanding your property, or increasing the capacity, strength, or quality of your property.Restoration.

There are too many investors and not enough quality wholesalers or leads.

Force appreciation in the area and up the quality of tenants, and corresponding rents, at the same time.200k with various start ups for a shot at multiply millions.300k to hard money lending.

Fast forward to today, the condos were never updated and fixed..a few of the buildings burned down, the quality of tenants that it attracts is just awful and now the seller desperately wants to sell but can't since they need 70% of the tenants' vote to sell the property off....I dont know anyone who wants to touch that place with a 10 foot pole.

However, if you find a deal that's returning 3% cash-on-cash you are probably going to be hard pressed to find an investor based on the cash-flow alone.Also, as Dion mentioned above and others mentioned on BP, you should always put a management fee in your underwriting regardless of who manages the property - assuming the quality of work is the same.
