Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Louisville.

Purchase price: $50,000
Cash invested: $45,000

I thought I would post this to show folks you can still do fairly well with buy and hold in good areas of Louisville Ky. I bought this house in AS-IS condition and it was very very rough! It needed everything! I mean everything! The floor joist were rotted, all drywall was either damaged or falling apart. In short it was a complete gut job! I was going to flip this property but after running the numbers I feel this one is a good rental to keep for a while. Since it is all new there should be very little capx and the neighborhood is really good as well. Just made sense to keep it.

All new!

4 bedroom
1 and 1/2 bath
1 car attached garage

ARV $145,000 with total invested of $95,000

Loan

5 year lock

I paid cash for the house. I then got a construction loan to rehab the house and did a refi to perm loan for a total of $0 out of pocket on this deal. I could have actually got a little cash out but I prefer to have the equity.
