Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Spokane.

Purchase price: $71,750
Cash invested: $3,587
Sale price: $115,000

My first purchase! I was one semester shy of finishing my 4 year degree at Gonzaga University, and I had cash from bonds my great great grandmother had left me when she passed. So with only $3,587 dollars, I got my first condo that came with a HUGE room sized tv on wheels. What a deal. Shortly thereafter, I purchased a single family home, moved out, and rented this unit to a friend, making almost 250 dollars a month on the rent.
