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 pool maintenance and re-creating the layout of the basement so that our future buyer could really see how spacious it was.

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 had multiple offers and were able to really showcase the home's spaciousness and country charm without having to stage the home.

Reflecting on the Real Estate Experience and Future Improvements

Budget a lot more for pool maintenance and upkeep. We made sure the pool stayed sparkling blue even though it was off season because 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 knew to fire contractors fast and never accept their excuses for missing deadlines. I am only as strong as my contractor team. Also work life balance is extremely important in real estate investing. Mistakes happen the most when either myself or my team is overworked; balance literally keeps everyone motivated to finish the project on time and with quality.

Why Partnering with SkyBeam Capital Made a Difference

Skybeam is absolutely my favorite lender because if the deal makes sense its funded. Skybeam has always funded my deals on time and quickly. Because of that reliability, I have won in multiple offers situations even though I wasn't the highest bidder because I could guarantee sellers I could close in 4 days because I knew my lender would perform. Skybeam also took a chance on myself and my husband 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.
