There's nothing wrong with wanting truly passive income once you've acquired the property, nor is there anything wrong with wanting to transform a property into a money-making machine. 

Hello  @Patrick Frees -Years ago I lived in Beaverton, OR and plan to be back for a visit, to see how the place has been transformed from what I am told.Welcome to the BP community.

Now I only know about these because of the much-spoken of transformation happening there.

The thought of reducing our living costs transformed into trying to find out if it would be possible to actually get paid to live in our own home.

I do enjoy doing most of the work myself, and seeing the property transform.

We transformed a typical 1950's split level ranch into what we like to call a 'Farmhouse Cottage'. 

I'm a Realtor who would love to put on a hard hat & get to work in the grit of the property transformation.

We also used the Rustoleum Counter Transformations which turned out very well and will likely hold up for a long time.  

Simply because I feel my people and negotiating skills could easily be transformed and work to an extreme advantage in this field of the real estate market!

Thats the truth about marketing, sometimes you may have thought you hit a dead end on a list due to not getting the right calls that transform into deals, but if you stay consistent, then you really can capture a deal from a marketing campaign that you have long forgotten about.
