Flips property

Home purchase/sale0 Comments

Houser sells his house, and invests in a property in Phenix city with an investor. Over a six month period he sells the lots and keeps the home to live in.

Needing cash for investment, I decided to sell my house and find one for profit. Riding the streets of the Columbus/Phenix City area I found a spectacular estate on 32nd street in Phenix City. Though it was grossly undervalued and completely unrealized it was two times my investment potential, so an investor was brought in. Lots were sold on the property while I kept the house and an extra lot for myself. This is my home today. What did I see in the estate that had escaped others? Cut the trees and see the view.
