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

This was the first home that I bought for myself to live in out of college. This home was very distressed and in need of a lot of work but the price was right and I was willing to do the work to fix it up with the idea of turning it to a rental down the road.

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

This was a pocket listing, the client wanted to have a smooth and easy transaction and didn't want to do any work to the unit to get it ready to sell. I offered her a resonable offer and she accepted it.

How did you finance this deal?

I used conventional financing

How did you add value to the deal?

I bought the home and continued to rent as I did work to the unit, I replaced all the flooring and pained the entire unit before moving in. While I lived there I made changes to the landscaping, new siding and new roof.

What was the outcome?

This is my best investment as it is a long term rental and cash flows about $1,000/month
