From BiggerPockets Youtube Description:
There are a quite a few investors who brave the perils of buying and holding properties for basement prices, all in the name of real estate investing and consistent 0+ cash flows.
These areas can range from quaint working class areas to working class row homes in the inner-city. Most can be seen from foreclosures listing on the national MLS and HUD, but opportunities for excellent cash flow nonetheless. But, when I listen to the discussion, I find that people assume that low priced housing means that it’s a “war zone”, and that’s just not the case.
I’m going to show you here why sometimes it’s as simple as location, and being old, that determines that lower price, even more so than the supposed crime associated that may be associated with that property address.

Thank you all!
***I offer a lot of free videos and content, however, IF you need more 1 on 1 mentorship, i do charge because of the extra effort, as well as the fact that it takes time away from my full time job, my real estate investing, and other businesses. Its modest, but please understand I had to do this to be fair to the many requests I receive everyday for personal one on one attention. Take care.***
