Investment Info:

Single-family residence wholesale investment.

Purchase price: $47,000
Cash invested: $7,000
Sale price: $85,000

This deal was sentimental as I grew up on this street and wholesaled a house across the road just 1.5 years ago. I found this property driving for dollars after leaving the barbershop 🤣 and noticed it was being trashed out. I contacted the owner, left a voicemail, and got a callback a week later. We agreed on $47K, closed in 10 days, and resold for $85K. Another higher offer came later, teaching us the value of having a dispositions specialist. A great deal and learning experience!
