Chick Fil A diet lemonade.  

Making lemonade out of lemons is probably one of the best adages I can think of for learning to be creative and solving problems in real estateif there is a problem with a property or dimension issues you dont always have to go to a contractor to solve the problemcontractors have a certain mindsetand are operating on a specific paradaigmhere are some solutions I have done in the past that have really worked and paid dividendsi had an ejector pump in a bathroom and the space was covered by a makeshift door I decided to have a custom cabinet built that functioned as a trash receptacle and had shelves as well now the unsightly space is home to a beautiful custom cabinet that can be easily removed for servicing the pump when it needs it problem two I bought a house that had front of the shower enclosure removedrather than buy another shower enclosure cost 500.ooi opted to replace the front wall with backer board and tile the front and ended up with a beautiful custom look cost was cheaper than replacing shower enclosure and the look is twice as good problem threewhen i bought my house there was a hole knocked out one of the walls about the size of a  door i suppose thieves came in from the crawl space into this part of the house when it was vacantrather than close in the spacei enlarged the crawls space door poured a concrete floor and created a second exterior doorway to the space making the downstairs ready to become a legal apartment. 

By strawberry manors area there tends to be more home owners from what I noticed and it is pretty quiet.

They did everything from paper routes, lemonade stands (for the crews resurfacing our street - grew from simply drinks to full meals with hot dogs and chips!)

Life handed me a truckload of lemons and I am trying really hard to make lemonade.

But you can buy her a pint of $8 organic strawberries as a peace offering :)Good luck with this situation, and please follow up with how you handled this one. 

I have heard about areas like Beacon Hill, Strawberry Hill, and etc, but I don't know if that is accurate. 

Turn lemons into lemonade and make real estate investing work for you and simply be open to renting to everyone.... it’s not just good business... it’s the law.

(Strawberry Mansion, Cobbs Creek) where the area is a little rough now but developers are in there and really turning the areas (like they did with Fishtown and Brewerytown). 

You can’t pay bills with “ equity” .Im pretty sure you could setup a lemonade stand on the corner and make more than 98$ And you’d only be out some lemons and sugar ..not over half a million dollars
