But don't expect to find may gems there. 

if this guy is a low maintenance tenant, pays good, and isn’t tearing the house up you have a gem.

If you dig enough, you can find a hidden gem.

One of those gems I noticed (which was a tip I took away from a podcast...can't remember which one) noted that great deals are often made when the buyer can see things within the deal that others can't. 

As has been mentioned above, the worst thing you can do in such a situation is go in being able to juggle loans (see Uncut Gems...good movie even for investors to check out) that ultimately can turn into gambling when you don't know if you're numbers are going to bear out and you're going to hit a profit that makes it worthwhile in the end.

I've read a number of books..the bigger pockets website has a lot of gems to help simplify things and get started. 

Just thought I'd revisit this gem of a thread after I just crushed a BRRRR this week.

Not to mention the added gems he drops regarding other aspects of investing.

@Eric Greenberg there are still gems the further east you go, specifically in Port Richmond.
