Lessons learned? Challenges?

Patience is the name of the game! Started speaking with the seller in February 2020, took many months to come to terms on price - went under contract in October 2020 . Never compromise your underwriting to get a deal done - wait for the right deals for your investors. Make sure you have plenty of contingencies in place - Bridge loans bring some unknowns at closing and can swing 6-figures

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

Definitely - make sure you have a solid team!
