Real Estate Investor Goddesses

How I Ended Up Owning a War Zone PropertyThis was one of my first multifamily investments. I was looking for a C-class property (working-class area) with value-add potential—a place I could renovate and improve.The property was in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in an area once called “The War Zone”—a huge red flag I ignored because:✅ A new Starbucks and Planet Fitness had been built nearby.✅ A neighboring apartment building had been renovated and was getting higher rents.✅ It was across from a major hospital, suggesting potential tenants.On paper, it looked like an up-and-coming area. In reality, I had stepped into a nightmare.
