Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $98,000
Cash invested: $5,000

I bought my first rental in college! Roommates helped pay the bill and it gave me a taste of RE investment.

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

As a young college kid I needed to live as cheaply as possible!

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

We found it the old fashioned way, driving through a neighborhood.

What was the outcome?

We still have this rental, and it's appreciated extremely well!
