Another one bites the dust!

18 August, 2009 (23:25) | Deals | By: Richard

Memphis, TN is an extremely hot market for rehabs, flipping and rentals. We have been successful in breaking into the Memphis RE market and have done a couple of deals there. That place is a veritable goldmine! Check the video of our recent deal that was purchased for $38,000, fixed up with about $3,600 of capital. And now it is about to be flipped before the end of the week.

Our strategy has been to purchase only occupied properties. This has worked out great! This particular one was able to have a tenant move in within 3 weeks!

P.S. – This video was shot over 6 weeks ago. Don’t bother calling!

The City’s Most Glorious Co-op Flip!

Bommers Selling New Duplex for $48.9M

 
In what will surely go down as one of the most splendid flips in the history of ultra-posh New York City real estate, the young hedge fund executive Scott Bommer and his wife Donya, once an anchor for “Good Day Philadelphia,” have sold their duplex penthouse at 1060 Fifth Avenue for around $48.9 million, according to a source.

Not only does the sale come in the middle of a relatively sludgy, even gloomy real estate market, but there’s the downright flabbergasting fact that the Bommers bought the apartment only this January. They paid $46 million, setting a record for a Manhattan co-op sale.
