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

Husband and I have always been involved in real estate. Purchased and sold owner finance until 2008. We did not know how to scale. We are testing the waters with rentals.

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

MLS

How did you finance this deal?

I work for Gov agency and travel a lot. I saved my perdiem for downpayment. Since l, I was able to prove I I am station out Waco, I was able to use it as a primary and my home as a secondary. Via FHA

What was the outcome?

I rented one side and RB&B the other side.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Next time I will let an agent rent the property for us.

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

Yes, Karen Nichols with Kelker William's.
