Investment Info:

Single-family residence fix & flip investment in Poughkeepsie.

Purchase price: $160,000
Cash invested: $200,000
Sale price: $409,500

Total gut!!! First flip and i learned sooo much for the experience.
thankfully the market went insane and i was able to make a profit even with my inexperience, BP definitely influenced all of my choices and in hindsight if i applied more of the tips i learned from listening to the podcast and reading all the books recommended i shouldn't have made half the mistakes but live and learn. on to the next one!
