Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

Cash invested: $70,000

Purchased this property under a contract for deed with $48,000 down and paid off on or before a year later so that we didn't have to pay a hard money lender

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

Huge profit margin on this deal.

Direct mail marketing

Contract for deed. Cash downpayment

How did you add value to the deal?

By putting in over $70,000 in renovation

What was the outcome?

Just listed on the market.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Went over budget. A lot more costs than anticipated, but we had a huge margin for error as well. Need to estimate costs better next time.

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

A attorney to draft the contract.
