[Sevak Gasparian]

Investment Info:

Single-family residence wholesale investment.

Purchase price: $650,000

found a single family home that was a 2nd owner with very little upgrade, most upgrade were to electrical, pipes etc but lots of work needed on cosmetics and lay out. Found an investor who was willing to work with me after we had a walkthrough - i even set him up with several agents that live in the area and serve clients regularly he interviewed them and picked one he really liked !
