The Thrill of Buying Real Estate

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I was ignorant with real estate, what made me interested in investing is "after" I sold the property, truth be told. I was taught to work hard and SAVE your money growing up. I bought the property and invested a little bit of money in it for personal gains, life happened I sold said property and it was then, I realized the ease and extreme excitement I felt buying and selling real estate.

How did you finance this deal?

My credit wasn't the best at that time, so I used an awesome mortgage broker, they found me a non traditional lender.

How did you add value to the deal?

I focused on the three things people see when first walking in to a home (in my opinoin) and that is
-Flooring
-Kitchen
-Exterior paint
I Installed new flooring and paint the cabinets with new hardware. Painted the exterior of the home.

What was the outcome?

Beautiful

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Stop reading the books and take more ACTION.
