Investment Info:

Single-family residence fix & flip investment in Sebring.

Purchase price: $68,000
Cash invested: $35,000
Sale price: $140,000

A quick 2-1 flip that I partnered in with a realtor. This deal was his first and although we over spent on the remodel. We still returned good numbers for this first one. In the process of completing this one, we found a second deal that we are currently working on. We also found a better contractor that provided us better pricing. Stay tuned for the end results of that one.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

This deal was brought to me by my realtor who had been wanting to do a flip for some time now.

How did you finance this deal?

Private money loan was used to acquire the property. Then we used cash and two credit cards to fund the rehab. Once the deal funded, we paid all cards first. Resulting in more cash flow for the current project and higher credit limits for future deals.

    If your biggest mistake was overpaying for reno on your very first attempt at this, I think you did spectacular overall.

    The property looks great! It is insane how much your contractor matters in each deal, the cheapest option isnt always the best, but I have found that there can be a huge difference in price for the exact same work/ quality of work. 

    Great job - looking forward to seeing your next one!
