House Flip #215 Finished After the City Shut us Down!

I bought this flip in November and we were hoping to have it listed months ago but we had some delays. We always tend to have some delays on our flips but this one had more than usual! We had to change contractors (again) and the city shut us down for a while.

I bought the house for $218,000, we spent about $50,000 on the repairs, and we spent another $30,000 on other costs, but we listed it for $425,000 and it is already under contract! It will be a good flip although it is selling for much more than we thought it would when we bought it.

What an incredible property. Totally well done. I love how the basement adds extra rooms. I also love the added on room for plants. Glad you didn’t have to do a tear down. The yard is awesome for a garden. Really nice job.

Love the painted brick, it’s made the house have huge kerbside appeal!

You have a lovely stager for that property. It shows very nicely! I remember this when you got it with the mess in the shed.

Oh wow! What a change :) Love the way it has been staged too.

[wandakitterman]

Best staged, yet...lovely home..well done...once again.

[tomlangley]

NICE! You hit this one out of the ballpark!

[cassieharris]

The house looks really great! I watch your channel because you are very honest and descriptive when explaining the history of the properties and flips.

[tylermundy]

Good work! The painted brick looks nice.

Note to self, pull stickers off windows and keep your garbage hidden. You never know when a Karen will be stalking you.

[happeedaze]

It's such a beautiful property. I just love it.

[jucadvgv]

other than the grass, the outside looked great - so, so much better - in the 'before' pic!

[donahays]

Don't really like to paint brick, but in this case it was an upgrade! As always
Cute home. Sorry about all the delays. The staging
Was awesome 👌

[anthonyballard]

I love this one here Mark, and very nicely done!... And I'm glad y'all didn't cut corners except for the tub-shower inserts in both bathrooms in which are very nice, and I love the makeup of the basement too!... 👍🏆🎗

But I would've love to have seen that well cellar out back again tho... 😏

Some people are renting their dump trailers out to use as dumpsters. Instead of using a dumpster on some jobs, maybe contract with a dump trailer owner and have him park it in the garage. When finished, they come by and haul it off just like a dumpster.

This is a great property! Love the garden. The outside brick looks like it could do with another coat of paint, but yeah, awesome. I would love to live there.

Sounds like you try to cut corners as often as possible, regarding permits. Hope you don't get a bad reputation among city officials. ;)

I am not honestly a fan of painted brick surfaces ... but in this case I agree. That salty beige color hand no UMPH at all. The work inside looks good too.
I sense this one will sell quickly.

[OVRLND_E]

very nice home, you really did an amazing job on this home

[onetuliptree]

I don't like painted brick because there is no going back, but I did buy a house with a painted fireplace, very trendy on a certain tv channel.

[robertwoodward]

Yeah Mark it's called keeping you honest.

Those look like honeysuckle vines with grapes mixed in
