The other things to consider are abundance of fresh water, Access and ports to international waters. 

For value add investors the work around is to turn units over and start fresh with new tenants.

I’ll have to put about $5k to give it a fresh look.

Turnkey just means that the house has a fresh rehab is usually vacant so you can inspect then a new tenant goes in.. you can jump on MLS and just buy a house if you want with a good agent .. were the risk or value proposition comes in usually is the asset class its self..

P.S anyone willing to mentor and take on a challenge with a new fresh student please DM.

Hi @Linda D. yes, Matthew Desmond was interviewed on "Fresh Air" I think early last year.

I even change my picture every now and then to keep things fresh!

There are great wineries, fresh fruit is bountiful, and beautiful lakes.

@Jonathan HulenOne unit from what I can see in last years pictures just needs some fresh paint and maybe updated floors.

I think the wounds from 2008 are still fresh enough that it is all a lot of people remember.
