In our lifetime, at least once, we all suffer so much pain that we wish we were an unresponsive punching bag instead. Or maybe a solid rock left in the open. It’s among the few times when we wish someone would come and rescue us from total soreness. Rehabbers, wholesalers, or real estate investors, no one is exempt from this pain. If you’re human, you’ll feel it too.
If houses had feelings too, would they feel the same way? Come to think of it, a house is praised and dignified in its first 30 years but is probably shunned in succeeding decades. If they had feelings, they probably would weep so loud when their owners vacate them. It probably pains them when the owners place a pail under the hole in the roof and not patch the damaged shingle instead. Their hearts probably break when their paint scrapes due to age.
And if they can talk, they’d probably thank rehabbers.
Of all real estate investors, rehabbers are probably the friendliest to houses. Yes, they’d be sold in the end but they’d be repaired first. They will be improved and brought back to their previous glory. So, in every rehabbing project you do, you better feel good because houses will thank you if only they could talk. Think of it. Wholesalers quickly “ditch” properties. Landlords rent them out. Conventional sellers dispose them as they are.
But, if that isn’t enough, you can always make do with the tens of thousands of dollars you earn from rehabbing. The business still pays handsomely, and often, that’s enough for investors.
