Hi im Chris. Been listening to the BP podcasts for a while but new to the forums. My fiance and I bought our first house 2 years ago. It was a HUD house. I did lots of repairs myself. Replaced all windows, doors, flooring, painted, enclosed a porch, redid kitchen and bathroom as well as a lot of electrical upgrades (running new wire, adding circuits) only hired help was roof repair, plumbing, and some of the electrical. When we bought it, it appraised at $50,000. Now after putting around $10-$12k into it, it recently appraised at $114,000. Now Ive decided I want to continue doing this. We still live in the house but when we sell we will make decent money on it. Thats the extent of my real estate experience. I look forward to meeting people on here and learning. And of course using that knowledge to grow wealth for the future.
