Hey Kevin, CONGRATS! 

I have a few questions if you don’t mind.  I feel like thought process can help us new folks out!

1. This would be a success flip, not BRRRR right?

2. You were $150k in with acquisition/rehab.  However were there additional fees for holding and eviction over the course of the year? 

3. Cash to purchase, was it also cash for rehab? Zero financing?

4. Did you consider actually BRRRRing this property? With a $200k appraisal, a 75% LTV would have put you back at $150k and you would have recouped all your money back. Additionally you would have had a 2-4 unit available to place multiple tenants in and potentially good cash flow?! If you did consider but chose not to. Could you explain why?

I’m looking for my first deal and just want to learn as much as I can.  Congrats again on your success!! 

 Hey Michael thank you!

The full intention was to keep this property as a long term hold.After we placed tenants, we refinanced and took all of our money out. I had a flip going on at the same time so there was no repeating for me at that time. We were cash flowing a couple hundred bucks a month on the property but were riddled with repair requests and eventually the eviction of Section 8 tenants. I bought the property in cash and did the rehab with cash too. Hope this helps @Michael Powell
