I GOT THIS PROPERTY IN 2021 FOR 415,000 PUTTING 15% DOWN . IT IS NOW THE ENDING OF 2024 AND THIS SAME PROPERTY HAS GROWN 45% ITS HOME VALUE IS NOW 602,012 AS OF 12/27/2024 FROM SINCE I PURCHASED IT !! THATS OVER 200K IN EQUITY IN 3 YRS

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

ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I WAS INTERESTED IN THIS PROPERTY WAS I LITERALLY GREW UP AROUND THIS PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD SO IT WAS A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT FOR ME BESIDE IT BEING A GREAT DEAL I WAS VERY FAMILIAR AND COMFORTABLE WITH THE AREA !.

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

I FOUND THIS DEAL THROUGH WORD OF MOUTH I WAS TELLING DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN MY CIRCLE I WAS READY TO BUY AND LONG BEHOLD A BUDDY OF MINES WHO IS A REALTOR PRESENTED ME THE DEAL AND LET ME MEET THE OWNER WE HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION AS HE TOURED THE PROPERTY WITH ME HE EXPLAINED HE HAD HIGHER OFFERS BUT BECAUSE HE SEE IM A YOUNG GUY DOING THE RIGHT THING HE REALLY WANTED TO SELL IT TO ME AND THE REST IS HISTORY !

How did you finance this deal?

SO I PUT DOWN 15 PERCENT ! FROM CASH I SAVED UP FROM FLIPPING HOUSES

How did you add value to the deal?

I FIXED THE ROOF AND CHANGED SOME DOORS THE PROPERTY WAS BROUGHT IN GOOD SHAPE !
