At this point in my investing career, I have unloaded all my rehabs. In this slow market, it took almost a year to sell the last rehab. I completed that rehab just in time for the spring market and got a lot of inquiries when it first hit the market. Unfortunately, it was at a […]

Hi All! I realize that it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything but I’ve also realized that I don’t have the time to tell about my past deals. The only way I can stay updated with this site is to talk about current or most recent things. So, for those who were […]

My first true Rehab was a shipwreck (literally). You will see the before and after pictures below. I like to flip houses that are really run down.

We could physically see the utilities but we had no way of testing them before purchasing the piece of real estate. When buying foreclosures, […]

We gave up on sending mailings to pre-foreclosures because our responses were negative and no one seemed to want to sell. Our focus went towards finding bank owned (REO) or government owned real estate. A lot of our energy went towards surfing the foreclosures on the internet and driving by different areas that we were […]

After 4 or 5 months of searching foreclosure property listings, we found a house on sheriff’s sale. In our opinion, the house was in a prime location, the exterior was in decent shape and we loved the neighborhood. We were going to bid on that house! We could feel it…it was ours! We read it […]

I remember when I was first interested in real estate investing but could not exactly find the information I needed. After reading how there are so many ways you can make money from real estate with no money down, I was itching to hear more (especially since I had no money). I signed up for […]
