I selected a specific area in Houston, bought a crap house for $75K when EVERYONE told me it was a bad deal and my interest was double digits (which sucked but I didn't plan at all and my only option was owner financing), did as much of the Reno I could myself (around $25K or so, stopped at HVAC, roof, foundation, etc) rented it out for 5 years, made over $100K doing so, and then I was ready to put another $60K into it to quadruple the purchase price but my health deteriorated and I sold it (for double what I paid).
