Congrats on the deal. Villa Park is definitely getting hot. Great location long term in my opinion. Two years on the market in Denver? Was the seller just asking an unreasonable price or not advertising well or what? Did you offer well under asking? Low down payment, building sweat equity, good location... hard to lose on this one! Nice work.
