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

I was interested in investing in this type of deal because I wanted to buy my first place after college instead of throwing away $1,000 plus every month to rent a place.

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

I found this deal on the Zillow for 55K. I noticed the person selling the property ran out of money halfway through a renovation, so I offered 40K cash plus he had to leave all the supplies he bought for the house in the property upon sale. He accepted.

How did you finance this deal?

I financed this deal with a HELOC on my parents home that they owned free and clear

How did you add value to the deal?

I did a complete remodel to add value to this deal

What was the outcome?

The outcome was a beautiful property that appraised for $150,000 upon rehab ending
