My First Rehab: A Duplex - Fixed, Refi'd and Rented !!
1 April 2016 | 27 replies
Using hard money allowed us to pick up the property instantly with very little of our own money down and then put in only the money needed for the fixup and the monthly hard money payments - which we could manage more easily. (4) Brick siding is usually very durable and all we did was do 2 rounds of pressure washing to get it to look like that (note that another reason why the photos look good is because they were all taken from my wife's iPhone @Pragya Singh, she's very proud of it :) )Hope these help and I'd be glad to help answering any more questions.
