Finished Another Flip

Here are a couple pictures of before and after of a house my husband just finished. I thought we had more inside before shots but can't locate them right at the moment. I will keep searching and post them later on if I find them. We purchased this house for $17,000 and put about $3000 to $4000 in it. We are listing it for $54,000. It is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home with a fenced in back yard. Hope you enjoy and keep returning for more!!!

House is ready for the market!!

We purchased another house back in August and didn't actually get started on it until September. My husband has it ready to be listed now. It was a small house with only two bedrooms and one bath. We purchased it for $17,000 and we are going to list it for only $54,000! I have some before pictures, and I am in the process of getting some after shots. I will try my best to get this posted today or tomorrow. So keep a look out for it because it was a major transformation on this cute little house.

House has contract!!!

We have a contract now on this house. Keep your fingers crossed it will all go through. Hopefully it will be closing in about two weeks. This house was the only one we had on the market for this long. I believe it has been approximately 3 months, so that is still not bad with the way the economy is right now. I'll let you know if something happens and it doesn't sell.

Purchasing Homes on Ebay

I was reading the Yahoo News this morning about a woman, Joanne Smith, from Chicago winning a bid for a home on ebay for only $1.75! Can You believe that? The house was an abandoned home in Saginaw, Michigan. According to the article there were 8 bids on this house and she must pay $850 back taxes plus yard clean up. I can't imagine something like this ever happening to me. We sure would have liked to run across a deal like this to flip!

Another Flip This Past Year.....

Here are a couple before and after pics of a flip we did about 6 months ago. My favorite transformation was the kitchen and the tiled fireplace. It was a split-level home we purchased for $42,000, put approximately $18,000 in it and sold it for $108,000. That was a profit of $48,000.

And some end results..........

Flipping Adventures

My husband and I decided a while ago to start a new adventure in real estate. We purchase houses needing attention and give them a major makeover. Once they have been flipped, we sell them. It has been a profitable business up to this point. This blog is about our experience and things we have learned along the way. We will also include any houses we currently have for sale that have already been flipped. If you have a home to sale and it needs to be flipped, then your more than welcome to contact us and we will list it on our blog under the "Houses Needing Flipped" tab. Just send us your details on the property and one nice picture. Give us the location, the selling price and your contact information.
