We created Value in this property by finishing out the basement adding around 900 Sq Ft of living space. It's also right by a local Christian college so it was super easy to get good tenants in quick.

How did you add value to the deal?

What was the outcome?

we have a great rental property in great part of town that is cash flowing over 1%.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

On this one, I learned the importance of adding value. not just giving a place a facelift.
