Project Details:
Not every project goes according to plan. This property was purchased for $12,000 with an initial renovation budget of $50,000, aiming for an appraisal of $85,000.
During the renovation, part of the foundation unexpectedly collapsed, significantly increasing costs. Later, the city required the removal of additional concrete—an expense we hadn’t anticipated—which pushed total renovation costs to $80,000.
Despite these challenges, the property appraised exactly as projected at $85,000. Through disciplined financial management and clear communication, Mono Azul Capital successfully repaid all investors—including their promised returns—on time.
Even with major setbacks, this project reflects our commitment to transparency, adaptability, and delivering results no matter the obstacle.
