A solid but drab SFH. We did minor upgrades and repairs, added 1 full bath, and after COVID delays, finally rented the property at $2300 per mo.

Hard money to BRRR

Lessons learned? Challenges?

COVID had us stop work and it caused huge delays. Our favorite agent was closed so we asked another agent to get it leased. We ended up firing that agent after many months and went back to our favorite agent who got it rented in 10 days!
