Lots of concrete and part of it is a mess!

I work 11-13 hours on concrete floors so I really like to put some heat and message on my lower back and shoulders.

It seems like there would be many opportunities to take some of the older condos/awkward layouts and have a fair amount of potential for flip profit but it seems that this is a far less popular choice.When you compare equivalent (size and relative location) condos from older buildings to new builds there is a MASSIVE price discrepency: many new builds starting at 300k in the core with older similar sized and neighborhood properties going for less than 200k (but very dated).

Are you saying that you have to pour a concrete basement floor (because it is either dirt or the existing concrete is fracturing)?  

It depends of course on the size but I recall the window price being in the $500 range plus installation ($1000 range total) unless you're cutting concrete etc.

And their comments were.. " These are built with Wood  we would only buy properties that are built out of concrete"  What was going to be a 2 week marketing trip ended in 3 days.. back to the drawing board..

When I arrived at a rental property to show it a relative of the prospective tenant promptly tripped on some uneven concrete in the driveway and stumbled ten feet before falling into a pile of snow right in front of me....... coincidence for sure but I thought it so ironic I had to share. 

There are tons of BP members doing it and the strategy is working for them.As you can see it's all about taking action - MASSIVE action.  

The buildings underwent massive rehabs so they are easier to manage than the average c-class property. 

The second part of the problem is that there wasn't enough rebar in the slab and and probably a less than optimum mix of concrete.
