What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
Good property in good area, we decided to purchase for the family with plans of selling or renting after a few years.

This was my first property ever so we just got it out of the MLS
How did you finance this deal?
My own cash and a conventional mortgage
How did you add value to the deal?
A few repairs but nothing mayor.

Rented and cash flowing $700 a month
Lessons learned? Challenges?
It was a great idea to move and downsize, now we are mortgage free thanks to the cash flow from our other properties.
