[Kyle Hood]

Investment Info:

Small multi-family (2-4 units) note investment investment.

Purchase price: $100,000
Cash invested: $1
Sale price: $124,900

purchased with no money down and sold it as an escrow agreement with 50K down. My loan is on a 15 yr term and purchaser's is on a 30 yr term. Their interest rate is 2% above mine. Purchaser to pay off in 3 years. I was able to take the equity I had (roughly $25K) and pay on another project and then the remaining money ($25K) pay down my mortgage to be the same amount as the purchasor's note. Upside - still make a little money in 3 years and possiblilty of having property returned, was able to finance another project. Downside - having sold the duplex.
