I bought my first house in 1998. It was a condemnable 1853 Greek Revival that languished on the market for over 700 days. Where others saw blight, I saw potential. With a renovation loan attached to the mortgage, I restored it to its former glory, but updated with modern conveniences. The nearby homes soon followed until the neighborhood was rejuvenated and dubbed a new Arts District. As the property values rose I was able to refinance and leverage to add more multi-family properties and fix n’ flips to my portfolio. I sold the entire enterprise two decades later, including the original home for 10X what I paid.
