One path to a great real estate deal is to buy a building nobody else wants to deal with, and Wayne & Derek have found a lot of them over the years.  But how do you buy a building when the bank doesn't want to give you a mortgage?  In this Episode, Wayne and Derek share their thoughts on finding the right place for you and using construction financing.  SPECIAL GUEST:  John Edel shares his extensive experience making unwanted buildings cool places to be.  He shares his experiences renovating a monster Brownstone in Bronzeville, reclaiming an abandoned varnish factory in Bridgeport with Santa Claus, and his success revitalizing a former meat packing building now called The Plant and with his Company Bubbly Dynamics.  Musical interludes by J. Davis Trio.
