looking to add to my portfolio of oppertunities

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Found thru HUD Foreclosures

How did you finance this deal?

Bank financed

How did you add value to the deal?

Using the expertise, I gained in my own personal home improvements I was able to see the deal potential that the "professional flippers" missed.

What was the outcome?

Great! took a very distressed home and made it best on the block. Sold for highest price/sqft in the neighborhood at that time.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Covid hit right in the middle of this flip, learned to pivot from contractor fix and flip to DIY'r flip. Sourced materials from unconventional sources and then did the daily GRIND to bring it in.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Developed great relationships with my lender which has lead me to no resistance from the bank on future deals.
My banker became Asst. Branch manager, we both grew together.
