Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

Purchase price: $321,000

I flipped this property to myself!! This was a pretty big rehab project and took a few months to complete - however, with a $321,000 purchase price, this house is now worth $485,000 and I was able to recover a majority of the cash I put into the deal as well as go from 5% down payment to 20% equity all while owning a fresh new house!
