$90k Asset Acquired for $3,500
Investment Info:
Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Columbus.
Purchase price: $35,000
Cash invested: $3,500
Stable asset with long-term tenants acquired through a purchase money mortgage. We agreed to 10% down on a 48-month note at favorable interest rates and fair terms. Lesser quality comps are selling on the same street for $90k+. Total out-of-pocket was less than $4k and monthly debt-service is $350. This one will be paid off in 2-years. It's on a quiet cul-de-sac right next to an elementary school.

Started off great with the Direct mail and then capitalized with the purchase money mortgage with the seller. Saving money and getting things done right! Even kept a tenant in there even after an unfortunate event.
