00:00:00.000 | There's also an element where people aren't educated, so they all chase after the same
00:00:03.800 | homes.
00:00:04.800 | They want the ones with the best listing photos, the best locations.
00:00:08.000 | They're moving ready.
00:00:09.000 | That gives you that emotional tingle that you just love.
00:00:11.820 | Those are the houses everyone looks for.
00:00:13.260 | You're just looking for something that other people are going to pass up that you see the
00:00:16.560 | value in, that you're going to put a little bit of elbow grease into.

00:00:34.980 | I just don't like it."
00:00:36.020 | That's as far as they go.
00:00:37.020 | They don't realize that you can spend $2,000 and move a wall.
00:00:40.080 | You can see everything that's going on there.
00:00:42.000 | Then painting and flooring.
00:00:43.400 | You can fix homes up for a lot less than what people think today.
