For example, the first property I bought in Tbilisi, Georgia cost $49,000 to buy and another $12,000 to fix up. While I eventually decided to make the property my home in order to scout out more investments, I was able to receive an offer for $70,000 before I took it off the market. While a $9,000 profit would not have been amazing, the benefit of getting paid while you learn is powerful.
