The Journey to Finding a Profitable Real Estate Deal
I found this deal through a wholesale company.
Addressing Challenges in Real Estate Ventures
The most challenging part of this deal was maintaining the pool and recreating the basement layout so that our future buyer could truly appreciate its spaciousness.
Project Highlights: Celebrating the Most Rewarding Aspects of the Real Estate Deal
My favorite part of the deal was the overwhelming response from all the potential buyers when we listed the home. We received multiple offers and effectively showcased the home's spaciousness and country charm without staging it.
Reflecting on the Real Estate Experience and Future Improvements
Budget a lot more for pool maintenance and upkeep. We ensured the pool remained sparkling blue, even during the off-season, as it was a major selling point for potential buyers.
Insights for New Investors: Essential Advice for Starting in Real Estate
When I first started investing in real estate, I wish I had known to fire contractors fast and never accept their excuses for missing deadlines. I am only as strong as my contractor team. Additionally, maintaining a work-life balance is crucial in real estate investing. Mistakes occur most frequently when either I or my team is overworked; balance literally keeps everyone motivated to complete the project on time and with quality.
Why Partnering with Longhorn Investments Made a Difference
Longhorn is absolutely my favorite lender because if the deal makes sense, it's funded. Longhorn has always funded my deals on time and quickly. Because of that reliability, I have won multiple offer situations, even though I wasn't the highest bidder, because I could guarantee sellers that I could close in 4 days, knowing my lender would perform. Longhorn also took a chance on my husband and me as newer investors years ago when other lenders turned us down for not having enough experience. I am forever grateful to the team at Skybeam Capital.
