Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $18,500
Cash invested: $1

This is to be a new ground up build for our own personal home, it’s about 2 miles north of our current home. So far it’s been cleared, then started to build a privacy fence, which got shut down by the Hoa, long story. The boat shot is right after Hurricane harvey, so this will not be on a slab house.

What was the outcome?

In progress

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Hoa will drive you nuts, even when they are not in a position to control things, months of letters and phone calls, sample fence built and demoed at meetings , all to find out they can not even control this, as it’s controlled at the county Level.

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

Private party cash deal
