This seems very reproducible, or at least many people focus on doing this. Donald Trump is probably the most popular example of someone who got rich buying things at low value and fixing it up for a large profit.


It’s not easily reproducible in Seattle any more. The housing market has flattened over the past year or so. Back before 2018, properties would easily go up 20% a year.


Other Washington markets are ripe for this activity though. Lot of money is exiting the Seattle area and buying homes in the rest of the state.
