My First investment at just 23 years old
Investment Info:
Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.
Purchase price: $102,000
Cash invested: $80,000
Property Overview - Great Presence! This grand 3 family is awaiting your updates to bring it back to it's full character! Separate utilities, plenty of parking and each having it's own individual porch are just a few of the benefits. Units 1 & 2 have possible potential to be 3 bedrooms each.
What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
Great price and beautiful 3 family with a ton of potential.
How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
Online deal, my offer was lower than the asking price and took a little time before they accepted it.
How did you finance this deal?
FHA loan
How did you add value to the deal?
Remodeling the entire house and doing a new roof
What was the outcome?
Outcome was great!! I actually had a very big insurance claim as a tenants washer machine failed and flooded the whole house which took a couple years to completely finish fixing the damage. Once complete I was able to refinance for my next deal!
Lessons learned? Challenges?
I learned a TON with this house with it being my first property.
