I would be very careful about jumping in without knowing the market and specific areas that you want to invest (Bakersfield is a market that has a few amazing pockets but the RE in those pockets have dried up).

Elio Levy that would be cool knock down some of the dry-wall make it into a hookah lounge or nightclub.

Add on baths with questionable foundations and dry rot.

It would make sense that you need to do that in a market like Seattle, I'm sure the MLS is bone dry up there...

I am hearing that a great deal these days...Do you think it is seasonally driven or the distressed market drying up? 

You never know when good property for $25,000 will dry up.

If it was a dry spell, everything died that was not already dead.My sister sought my ideas.I suggested she complete her ideas and that I would assist with the landscape.

I've read threads here on BP where people hit the jackpot right away and then there is a dry spell.
