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

I wanted a deal with no renovation and that would cash flow right away to get my investing career started.

20% down with conventional financing. I needed $80K to close and I only had $60K, the seller gave me a note for the final $20K that I paid back in a year.

Great cash flowing property that I still own today
