The unintentional flip!
Here is the scoop BP!
In August 2015 I purchased a SFH 3/2 at $120,000 as a home for my new growing family. And all i knew about REI was I needed to buy before my daughter was born, which was hurtling towards me(november 7 2015).
We move in after a 98 day escrow period which was a nightmare, and find out we really knew nothing about houses. And we didnt have the cash to fix it how we wanted.
So fast forward too February 2018, 3 years and another child later, my family and I experienced a house fire and let me tell you, it was horrifying. BUT everything went really well, noone sustained injury, and after 2 years of BP and learning why I bought the wrong house fortune smiled on me. I GC´d the repair and reno of our burnt out husk, and the insurance saw fit to put $130,000 into our house.
So we get moved back in, lifes good. Check the market out of curiosity and gpu d out we have an ARV of $190,000
So as of today our home has been on the market for a month and a few days and we are hoping to realize some equity capture!
