Purchase price: $560,000 Cash invested: $175,000 5 unit wood frame building which was constructed in the early 1900's.

Slightly above builder grade (level 1 granite counters, laminate wood floors, tiled showers, etc), but the idea being that they are universally easy to sell.

Wood burning stove as primary heat source What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Purchase price: $34,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Bought this house off of Craigslist sight unseen from a known tweaker- he "needed the money".

I work close off rolling wood and mopac here in Austin.
