Investment Info:

Purchased in May with hard Money, Over the next 3 months I spent around $23,000 on new floors, windows, paint, appliances, yard work, and curb appeal. The house is currently renting for $1450 a month in quickly growing Concord. The hardmoney loan was 6 months at $1100/month, so still less than rent. Will be refinancing in November and expect after pulling cash out that my mortgage will be around $680/month, leaving more than $600 in cash flow or around $450 in pure cash flow.
