Lessons learned? Challenges?
Disaster was a Near-miss, considering this property was pitched, inspected, bough, & taken title to, under the impression that it was a SFH. Turns out it was a double-wide mobile home that was yet to be de-titled. All data, including the full home inspection, initially reported the property to be a single-family. Title company made no disclaimers either. Massively impacted out ARV estimate, but we still made profit. Shoutout Lee-Ann Henry for coordinating de-titling and exit sale.
Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
Lee-Ann Henry in Blairsville Pennsylvania charged 4% as a dual agent, since she brought the end buyer to the deal directly, and she pulled many strings with the previous seller to get this property de-titled. Massive help, unlikely the deal would've moved as soon as it did if it weren't for her putting in the work.
