This was one of the few deals we buy from wholesalers that was presented to us by a local hard money lender. It was in an area that he had done 4 rehabs already and knew the market very well. However, this was a little different than most deals because we did a month long lease back to the seller and ended up taking a little longer to finish due to some unforeseen framing problems when open the house. We ended up selling for right for out projected ARV, but holding costs and extra rehab expenses ended up eating a good chunk of our profit. This deal was funded partially by the hard money lender and partially by one of our repeat private lenders.
