It is damn tempting ! Many real estate investments I looked at were running a 12% plus retun on investment a year . Not bad . The problem is I will not become a slum lord and rent someone a POS.I was ready to buy an apartment complex that returns about 18% as it sits . After seeing the interior ,I would not rent it to a dog in its current condition. If I was 10 years younger I would have bought it and spent the next year bringing it back up to tip top shape . I'm too old now. Dover has the UNH near by and it is a pretty little town . There is serious money to be made here .
