Investment Info:

Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Pawtucket.

Purchase price: $113,000
Cash invested: $80,000

Very ugly purchase with very solid bones. Rip off the front deck, add columns, siding, windows, roof, add driveway, refinish floors, rewire entire house, re plumb 90%, board/plaster/paint, Rent. Today this home is worth around $350,000. I intend to do a cash out refi in a few months just to provide more cash for investments and private lending.

Make sure you are always familiar with market rent as years go by. Rent has been rising in this area faster than I've been raising it.
