Found this property where I used to live. It was a FSBO. I was doing wholesaling for the previous years until then. So naturally, I considered wholesaling it, but then I ran the numbers if I flipped, and then I couldn't refuse to fix and flip it. PLUS I lived right down the street and I could see the project through my living room window, it was a no brainer.
