Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $43,000
Cash invested: $63,000

Bought this Cape Cod Style single family home in November with Cash. Paid out of pocket for the rehab. Was hoping it would be a quick and cheap BRRRR. But learning there is no such thing. To rehab we repaired the roof, added a bedroom, painted, remodeled a bathroom and kitchen, had foundation and electrical work done and fixed a back deck! This home came with 4 extra vacant lots we don't have plans for now but hope to sell in the future. Thanks for reading!
