Imagine making $1,500,000 on one regular real estate deal. We’re not talking about a huge apartment complex or commercial real estate investment. $1,500,000 on a single-family home purchase. How is that even possible? Dina Onur is more than a million dollars richer after spotting one rare <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-1075">real estate investing “upside”</a> at the closing table. And the best part? She’s just a regular, everyday investor.Dina runs her own home healthcare business and is a mom of three, but she decided, “I’m not busy enough; let’s start buying (and <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/how-to-renovate-house">renovating</a>) rentals!” So, that’s exactly what she did. Her clients routinely had houses to sell, so instead of passing them along to real estate agents she knew, Dina made the jump, buying a triplex to test her hand at <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/guides/ultimate-real-estate-investing-guide">rental property investing</a>. She did a BIG renovation but created some serious sweat equity as a result. The next rental? Double the size—a six-unit investment property.But, none of these compare to the one deal that is making her over a million dollars. This was such a rare find that Dina was offered hundreds of thousands of dollars over the asking price to sell it to other investors. She refused, and if you can find a property like hers, you too could make a seven-figure profit on your next real estate deal.In This Episode We Cover:How Dina made $1,500,000 on a real estate deal everyone else overlookedPulling yourself up from bankruptcy to rebuild your financial lifeThe one reason you ALWAYS check the zoning of a property before you buyWhy Dina refuses to invest in single-family homes and sees them as too riskyUsing a <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/what-is-a-heloc">HELOC (home equity line of credit)</a> to fund your home renovations Financing <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/2015-02-20-important-considerations-construction">new construction</a> and a sneaky way to get around the massive down paymentAnd So Much More!Links from the Show<a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/signup?utm_source=owned_media">Join BiggerPockets for FREE</a><a href="https://www.BiggerPockets.com/Podcastfeedback">Let Us Know What You Thought of the Show!</a><a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums?utm_source=owned_media">Ask Your Question on the BiggerPockets Forums</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@biggerpockets">BiggerPockets YouTube</a><a href="https://www.renttoretirement.com/">Invest in High-ROI Turnkey Rentals with Rent to Retirement</a> or Txt REI to 33777<a href="https://get.biggerpockets.com/conference/">Save $100 on Real Estate’s Biggest Event of the Year, BPCon2025</a><a href="https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/buy-rehab-rent-refinance-repeat?utm_source=owned_media">Buy the BRRRR Book, “Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat”</a><a href="http://biggerpockets.com/findlenders">Find Investor-Friendly Lenders</a><a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-1075?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none">10 Hidden Ways to Buy Properties with Huge “Upside”</a><a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/dinao2?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none">Connect with Dina</a><a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/davem27?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none">Connect with Dave</a> (00:00) Intro(00:55) Young Business Owner to Bankruptcy (02:17) Accidentally Finding Real Estate (06:41) Finding Her First Deal (09:29) Huge Renovations, But BIG Rewards(17:12) Tearing Down Her House for This?
