I Purchased this property at the peak of the market where everything was over priced and houses were moving fast , by the time I got done rehabbing this property buyers were watching the fed and interest rates so this flip was sitting for 2 plus months until I found a buyer. This was an experience for me because I started my Real Estate Investment buying and flipping houses within 1 month from close to rehab so to have a house sitting on and holding cost for the house was a pain for me.
