In December 2023, a Chicago-based investor came to us after purchasing a distressed single-family home for $90,000. With a clear vision and a construction budget of $100,000, he partnered with Barnett REI Finance to bring the project to life. The planned after-repair value (ARV) was $342,000, but with smart renovations and great market timing, the property sold in June 2024 for an impressive $356,000. Right on track with the expected payoff date. This project shows that with flexible financing, investors can maximize value and successfully bring their plans to market.
