A wholesaler found the deal

Hard Money loan

I rehabbed the property

What was the outcome?

I managed the property for several years.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

I learned many lessons! the first lesson is to buy in the right area. I was too early in the area but it was ascending. However, the property vandalized

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Yes, but it was so long ago that they may not be in the industry
