Most if not all have done primarily work on custom home's where people demand quality work.

Houses on their street at the height of the market were selling for $350k, due to demand and all the foreclosures in their neighborhood, they ended up getting "lucky" and selling for $150k - a 57% decrease.

You play the game like it or not.

If this topic is still being followed, I would suggest that you play it safe.

[[[[[.........When you see landlords that will not accept sec 8, most times its because it won't pass and they don't want to fix it up. ....]]]]]Please site your source for that statistic.I don't take Section 8 because I don't do leases, and Section 8 doesn't accept month to month agreements.Not to mention, I have yet to meet any Section 8 tenant who can meet my written rental criteria.The landlords I know who don't take Section 8 have nice places and they don't take Section 8 because the welfare tenants will trash a place and they are difficult and demanding to deal with.My places are in tip top condition and I respond to any repair call in less than 24 hours.Although, I have to confess, one of my houses can't pass Section 8 inspection because there is a centuries old tree too close to the house, and I refuse to cut it down.Another house wouldn't pass because the railings on the giant deck aren't close enough together and Section 8 doesn't want their little rug rats to fall almost 2 feet to the ground and maybe get hurt.

So to get around this and play the game you just hire on a licensed professional florist for 8 hours a week and you are good with the state.

More....I once played golf with a friend of a friend who I knew a little about.

That amount would depend on the length of time estimated for the rehab and the length of time estimated to fill the building (based on rental demand in the area, etc).As the others said, a thorough due dilligence is definitely needed.

It's been a PITA sleeping on an air mattress and working instead of playing golf every day, but maybe this time it stays sold.Yay me!

I have played many sports and many for years, football, baseball, basketball, soccer, golf, swimming and water polo.
