Investment Info:

Condo fix & flip investment.

Purchase price: $208,000
Cash invested: $16,000
Sale price: $243,000

I purchased the condo subject to the existing financing. The condo owner was past due on his payments and did not have much equity so I purchased it subject to existing financing. I did not use a title company and sent the grant deed to Sacramento county recorders office. I remodeled the entire bathroom with new tile surround and bathtub. I painted the inside and kitchen cabinets. I only replaced some of the flooring. I also replaced the kitchen appliances.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

look more closely at someones prior work. I made more repairs to items that I thought were fine.

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

I did it all myself. I would recommend myself to anyone needing help finding and selling a fix n flip property in the Sacramento area. As we all know now it is very difficult to find a property to fix n flip.
