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

I found it through my real estate agent, it was also posted on the MLS, and I put an offer down on it.

VA loan

I renovated the property and held it.

What was the outcome?

I am still deciding whether to sell or hold.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

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

My real estate agent on Oahu is Taylor Cardines, she's great! She works for the Travis Team.
