Off to the Races

With the first flip successfully under our belts the team was ready to take on number two. I was unsure about my color choices, fixture choices and other selections. Then the feedback started coming in....the list goes on and on about my insecurities, but I KNOW I can remodel a kitchen and a bathroom that people (women) LOVE.  I am a real estate agent and so much more.  Interior and exterior designer, check.  Personal shopper, check.  Bargain shopper and chief negotiator, check.  Add landscape design and installation to the list on this one.

The Team:  

Rich & Deb - Funder of all of this FUN, financing the flipping endeavor for a profitable return on investment

Brandon - Phenomenal Contractor that makes stuff happen, reins us in when we want to move mountains and brings us back to reality - quickly

Various Contractors - HVAC, Carpet, Hardwood Refinishing, Inspectors, Cleaning Crew (personal friends)
Little Ol' Me - Realtor, interior design, shopper extraordinaire, emotional reassurance advocate, chief bs'r, did I mention domestic engineer (cleaning - because I'm OCD and picky)

I laughed and called the pre-flip bedrooms in this house, the Easter egg bedrooms, check out the gaudy before pics.

There was soooo much potential in this house, the bedrooms had awesome built-ins and were good sized with large closets.  One of the fun things we do on the walk thrus is to try and imagine what the hell people were thinking when they did "THAT"!?  The post flip colors are chosen to be fairly vanilla so they appeal to a wider market of buyers.  I try to keep my selections as simple and clean as possible.  It has to "feel" good or it won't sell, and it's working!

3 bedroom, 2 bath purchased for $100,000.  Approximately $25,000 in renovations, flip complete from start to finish in 60 days.  Sold in the first 30 days it was listed for $156,000.  Buyer was an investor that is going to rent the property for $1500 per month.  Not too shabby!
