Sale price: $25,500

A seller got behind on taxes for this 1.4 acre parcel in Colleton County and it was sold at auction. A day before the redemption period was up, we paid the $1,123.34 tax debt and fees and bought the property from the seller for $500. We relisted the property and secured a buyer willing to put $2500 down and pay $25,500 over the course of 5 years at 7.2% interest. We now have a monthly recurring revenue of $437.71 for 5 years and the buyer has a solid investment.
