Our First Deal #hopefully
Hey all,
My wife and I have been on the look out for our first deal and we actually found a property way below market value but, there are some catches.
-The house has sat vacant for a little over a year
-It is bank owned and has been winterized meaning that upon purchase you wont know if the water works.
-It needs some renovations to the inside but not much to make it rentable
Fellow pocketers, does this seem like a good deal or am I letting excitement of a low price get the better of me?
