2nd Investment Property

[Valerie Lopez]

Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

It’s a single family I used to live in. I’m doing minor repairs and will be renting it out soon. I bought another property in June and moved into it, leaving this one available for me to turn into a rental. So exited to grow my portfolio, on to my next buy.
