A lot of it depends on when you bought.  

We just bought another house on auction, and we aren’t sure if we will be hiring the full time employee.

Our primary residence I bought before we were married and its in my name.

Instead ask for a couple of projects that he has done, look at the records to see how much they were bought for and how much they were sold for.

Last year we bought a property with three mobile homes on it and this year we just bought another property with 3 different lots but only one mobile home on it that we plan to fix up and put an additional two MH's on it. 

I bought his house actually. 

The difference would be if you bought it without it going to auction, for the price they owed, how much can you afford to pay them, and still make a decent profit on the deal.

The first place I ever bought real estate was Chelsea and I did extremely well there, but those days are over.

We have lived in a house for 715 days within the last 5 years, it was our primary residence that we have rented after the number of days above for 2 years, and we are planning to sell it within a 5 years since we bought the property.

I see a lot of posts and articles saying investor bought propert A at whatever amount, put x amount of dollars in renovations into it, and now all of a sudden the increase in the value of the property is double or more the amount spent in renovations.
