Investment Info:

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.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

It was the ugliest property on the prettiest block in a great area.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I lived right down the street from this property. I called the FSBO, scheduled a walkthrough, gave a cash offer the next day.

Private investor.

How did you add value to the deal?

I negotiated, invested and managed the project.

What was the outcome?

We received 3 offers above asking within the same day of the open house.
