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

I didn't have a lot of capital and wanted to get into the Middle TN area ASAP

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

I got this deal from Facebook. It was a lead that I followed up on
I negotiated the seller paying for $12k of work that I found from an inspection

My own savings funded the $14k to seller

How did you add value to the deal?

It was turnkey. Seller has just installed LVP, painted, and did the bathrooms

What was the outcome?

The outcome is we're making money every month without and deferred maintenance :)

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

None

I’ve never let the hot market slow me down. In my first year I have 12 rentals all via seller financing or sub2. the only one who says you can or can’t is yourself
