$245,000

Oakwood Hills, Illinois investors can often uncover significant value through strategic renovations, and this project is a great example. The borrower acquired the property for $130,000 and secured a $119,000 loan from Barnett REI Finance to help execute their investment strategy. With a $77,000 construction budget, the property underwent substantial improvements that transformed its market appeal. Originally projected to achieve an after-repair value of $188,000, the completed renovation far exceeded expectations, resulting in a resale price of $245,000. From acquisition in October 2021 to sale in October 2022, this project demonstrates how disciplined execution and a strong eye for opportunity can turn a modest investment into an exceptional outcome.
