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

Familiar with the City of Framingham; when we looked at the sales in the neighborhood, we thought making a deal in the neighborhood would be fun.

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

We worked with Camila Fernandes, Horizon Homes - she found the Seller and we were able to negotiate a purchase.

How did you finance this deal?

Hard money.

How did you add value to the deal?

As a standard principle we add value by giving entry level Buyers in our markets, a better product than they would otherwise find in the market. We typically get a premium to the market, which is disproportionate to the cost we incur with the materials & labor associated with the upgrades.

What was the outcome?

We made a fair return on our money.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Buying on a property built on a slab means that we should check for termites; we would have done the deal regardless, but we would have factored in the cost into our offer. In order to deliver a good product we had to replace most of the framing on one side of the house.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Camila Fernandes of Horizon Homes and Christopher Dudzic, of Lamacchia Realty.
