Investment Info:

Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment in Mayslick.

Cash invested: $200,000

This magnificent Building was built in 1909 and served as a public school until the mid 60s. The building was converted into apartments in the 80's but was abandoned around 2012 after a catastrophic failure of the wastewater treatment plant, the building set vacant until 2016 when I was able to purchase the mortgage from the bank and foreclose on the property. after much work and long nights I was able to renovate the building and with my background in waste water I was able to repair and obtain a permit for discharge from the state of Kentucky. October 2017 we opened the main floor of the building for occupancy and since that time have completed the building and now provide housing for 13 families, with all new HVAC, appliances, and wood flooring.
