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

Never thought of it as an investment until my brother in law came for a visit and gave me his advise which I didn't agree on but I did sit on the idea for a while.

This how came about shopping for over 2 months looking for the right price

How did you finance this deal?

My first purchase was done through FHA

How did you add value to the deal?

I Held onto it until the Market started getting stronger again.

What was the outcome?

As my brother in law predicted I was able to sell the house for $269,000 and got my first taste of what real estate can do for me
