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

I saw the opportunity based on location and deep discount in price.

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

Another investor wrote on a Facebook post that he had it under contract and couldn't get financing to close. I asked him for the address and jumped in the truck to walk it. Had to go thru and unlocked window. It was VERY rough but I love the ugly ones.

How did you finance this deal?

Hard money loan

How did you add value to the deal?

Completed updated it. Sub metered the electric.

What was the outcome?

Sold it for a nice profit.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

My contractors can fix just about anything. The city and utility providers were the only real hurdle.

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

Ryan Rite with Real Texas was the listing agent. He is a master marketer
McCaw Property Management leased up the property before selling.
