Find or pay to have a theme built (hope it converts visitors into leads well... most don't)Get hosting (most use really low grade sub $10/mo shared hosting)Come up w/ the proper content strategy (most don't have the experience to structure the content correctly to perform well or be a benefit for SEO)Write that contentAdd a bunch of plugins (which often times increase chance of vulnerability by hackers or slow things down... but all require the site owner to maintain the plugins)Dial the site in on mobile (most WP themes don't perform well converting visitors to leads on mobile, at any given time we're running 10-20 split tests across dozens of sites improving performance on our platform)Run split tests to continually increase performanceSetup your analytics correctly (we make it easy or use our built in analytics)Continue to update themes, plugins, WP (which isn't hard, it's very easy as you know... but many people don't want to do that)Keep up on the SEO trends / market trends (which we help our clients stay ahead of)etc. etc. etc.  100% anyone can use free or cheap tools to rank well in Google and in the case of a WP site... the simple fact of it being WP doesn't contribute to it ranking well at all.  

It's up to that guy to negotiate with his realtor the best deal, or use a cheap title company, or the biggest one is financing. even if you did not plan to wholesale it and you just needed to run numbers to see what your personal actual profit would be, you would still end up getting to a point where you have to decide what an appropriate amount of profit would be so that you can make your offer.

Besides, I can see them meeting outside their apts making fun of my cheapness!  

I was looking to acquire a relatively cheap property to get me started in Memphis.

well I dont know what it is but my levolor 2.5 blinds show signs of it and the 2 cheap ones in  small room are horrific to look at. it would have been nice if some of the people that had the issues before would have shared their outcome.

Keep it simple, and cheap...

In the small cheap 70's era rentals with few windows, especially around the college, it's pretty common.

@Charlie MacPherson I was very surprised to see something that cheap myself.
