Direct mail and bought as a package of 2 to close it How did you finance this deal?

I would immediately begin investing with your family, as you have the credibility and net worth elements that stop most newbies taken care off. 

The low income element, with SEC 8 or not, makes screening harder, maintaining harder, and collecting harder.

If some of the ammo is old - some of it (mainly the boxes/packaging they came in) can be very collectible to folks and they'll pay good money for it.I just glanced at a summary of the regs for CT - basically the same as KS with a few more restrictions but not much different. 

I provided a gift basket which contained the following: (call me crazy) Laundry Basket (new to hold the items and because no washer/dryer in unit but onsite)Small Tide Pods package (to get that starter load going)Cascade Platinum package for dishwasher (probably a years supply cost like $10 at Target)Swiffer new for laminate floors to keep clean ($20?)

I sold the 3 properties as a package deal.

I would try to package it as a little more turn key the area at a quick glance sounds like it has potential as a rental market more that fix and flip.

@John Edrisy equally important element of price is how's the utilization today and can I re-position the property.

Through conversation, learned the empty lot next door was also owned and needed to be part of the selling package.

Purchase price: $20,000 Cash invested: $7,000 Sale price: $57,000 This property was part of a package of homes purchased in March of 2017.
