Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $353,000
Cash invested: $21,900

Beautiful 1100 sq.ft. Turnkey investment home. Definitely a keeper for some future cash flow. Fantastic location as well!!!

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

The location is beautiful with shopping centers all around.

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

I found this deal through Amazing brokers from Savvy Ent. Whom which I found on Bigger Pockets.

How did you finance this deal?

I financed my deal with my own personal finances.

What was the outcome?

We closed on a beautiful turnkey home

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

I worked with two amazing Brokers (Travis and Patrick from Savvy Ent.) and an outstanding loan officer (Isaiah from Cornerstone Mortgage) who really helped pave the way.

Did not think about that either. Awesome thanks for telling me about that. I think I’m definitely gonna stay away from condo’s unless it’s a must have good deal. Thank you - Tim

What are your thoughts on buying condo’s/apartments for future rentals? Are they typically good rentals? Any advice helps. Thanks - Tim


 I agree with Noah, however, I believe condos can be utilized as an entry point into real estate especially in an expensive market. However, as mentioned it will come with more restrictions and little to no appreciation. So, unless the cash flow can make up for the lack of freedom and resale value then do not look into condos. 


 Awesome, thank you guys all for your expertise/advice. It really helps out with this journey. I have two places I’m interested in ones a single home and ones a duplex. It’s hard to choose being I'm a new investor and all. Would you guys advise to jump into duplex for first time purchase? Is it much different from starting slow with a single family home? Or is it close to the same? All advice is welcomed thank you. - Tim
