"You can't find good tenants in cheap properties."

I find it very difficult to believe that a tenant had 4 prior evictions and you got them out in 3 months.

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

You should still be able to find a few lenders to do smaller rehabs like that, as long as the ARV supports it, and often times the BRRRR tends to work better that way because if it is in a good Sec 8 area with rents that support the ARV, the refi can work out well.Happy to connect and talk through details if you are interested!
