I found this deal through a family member.

How did you finance this deal?

Currently renting this property for $800 per month and seeking a lender for a HELOC.

    @Clayton Smith Yes!! I purchased this property for $1200. A family member wanted to get rid of it to pay for some expenses. The property needed new sub floors in the front half of it. It needed a roof, windows, flooring, and i added a bathroom also.
