Walnut Creek. While buying homes to hold and rent out has became a popular business model, Presidio Realty Advisors kicks it old school by buying dilapidated properties, doing extensive renovations and then reselling, or “flipping” them. Here’s a look at two recent flips — so recent that they’re still in progress. We’ll revisit these homes in a future post with the final “after” photos, but for now, consider these “Before” and “In Process.” First up (top of page), a one-story Martinez home that could easily have starred in an episode of A&Es Hoarders; in fact, the former tenants were hoarders...

from the article...

"The house should go on the market for about $375,000 to $400,000"

whats wrong with this picture ? this home shouldnt be more than $200K "if that"
based on on incomes. There isnt enough inflation, income or home to warrant such
a high asking price...
