We updated and upgraded literally everything.

We updated and upgraded literally everything.

Condo I looked at at $300 HOA and was terribly managed and literally falling apart.

The only driving factor for price is driven by the cap rate because the property literally is only going to sell to another investor or a parent with kids in school. 

I think an incredible idea is simply the concept of a podcast where you literally are sitting in your first calculus class with only a knowledge of adding, subtracting, multiplication, and division.

The same type of crap happened in S Florida when I lived there during the bubble/crash - literally everyone was attempting to flip homes, make money in RE -- as the old wisdom goes when your hair stylist, taxi driver or whatever is starting to talk about some sort of investment that's when you should approach w caution or get out.  

I've been burned on repairs before like the prior tenant literally painted the bathtub.

You look at the tenant base, the area growth, the CAP rate, and the value add you can bring to it over time and you can do that in literally any area in the U.S. and do well if the deal is right.

I literally only pay FMLS fees on any property of mine that I sell and no commission on properties that I buy.
