Charles Corte with Penny Corte

My neighbor knew we were in the home buying business and asked if we would be interested in buying a house. His friend was selling a home he attempted to rehab. Penny and I put up the majority of the funds and we also listed our neighbor as an investor. We made a cash offer that was accepted and closed the deal with a real estate attorney. We purchased the house for $93,500 and rehab it for $12,860. For the rehab, we demoed the rock fireplace and opened up the living room and kitchen area. We epoxied the countertops, added a new backsplash, crown molding and doors to the cabinets and new appliances. We also added a new brick fireplace, new carpet and painted the interior and exterior of the home. We sold it 'For sale By Owner' for $140,000. We sold it in 4 days. We received an offer for $140,000 and close on the 30th.
