What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
Like most people we couldn’t afford everything remodeled so we had the vision and passion to do it over time

Just your standard MLS with an agent deal.

FHA
How did you add value to the deal?
Sweat Equity. One project at a time with bonuses and any extra money.

This home had 7 offers within 24 hours and appraised around 20% higher than any similar homes because of our work done.
Lessons learned? Challenges?
There were a lot but one comes to mind. Demo floors yourself! It’s labor intensive but you’ll save about half your cost by doing it yourself with rented tools and buy on sale flooring.
