From the outside to the inside, this house has many cosmetic issues/things that were original to the year it was built in 1970. The HVAC system is in great working order, however we will need to replace the roof, the garage door, many of the windows as well as haul in sand and dirt to fill in a huge cavity in the backyard where a swimming pool used to be. The exterior of the house was a very pale, drabby, whiteish-blue color and the inside has an odor of pets. Purchase Price: $63,000 Construction Budget: $35,000 ...

One of the fastest ways to build a fortune in real estate is by flipping houses and once you start, the sky’s the limit! So what are you waiting for? Start flipping houses today! All the changes to this house were very dramatic, but the changes to the kitchen were just off the charts! The kitchen had a very small and boxed-in feeling, so we eliminated an entire wall area, yet we added more cabinet space in other areas, actually creating much more cabinet space and more counter space than what was previously there. We had to get creative running some small ductwork through a pantry cabinet, but by doing this, we were really able to create an “open concept” and a kitchen that is a true showpiece. The high-end Samsung appliances we installed usually go on sale the cheapest at Home Depot during the month of November and during the July 4th sale.

One of the fastest ways to build a fortune in real estate is by flipping houses and once you start, the sky’s the limit! So what are you waiting for? Start flipping houses today! The upstairs bathroom is located in the hallway on the other side of the kitchen and right next to the three upstairs bedrooms. The shower wall tile was installed at an angle, adding an extra “wow” factor, and not to forget the nice tile we used, which came from the many new tile options now available at Home Depot. The bathroom downstairs was originally just an extra bathroom in the house, but we changed it into the master bathroom, with heated tile floors and an upgraded bathtub with Jacuzzi jets. The oil-rubbed bronze fixtures really stand out nicely with the warm tile choices throughout all the bathrooms in the house. The dual-flush toilets from Home Depot are give an upgrade to our bathrooms, yet at a lower price. Also, located right next to the master bathroom is a huge walk-in closet with his and hers Martha Stewart closets on both sides.

The cast iron railings at the entryway stairs were replaced with wood spindles from Home Depot. Both custom-built and painted by our contractor. Instead of walking into the front door of the house and looking at walls to the kitchen (like it was originally), we opened up those walls. We also built a gorgeous granite bar overlooking the dining room and living room area from the kitchen. The entryway door was in great condition, so we simply repainted the outside of it. Most of the lower level had 1970’s wood paneling, which we had to remove and install drywall. There was a funny looking storage area going across all the walls of the family room that looked like a gigantic continuous toybox. We eliminated that. Also, in the demolition process, we eliminated many shelves and cabinets and closets that were just randomly placed throughout the lower level. Once the lower level was finished, we had created a huge family room, a huge master bedroom suite, and a gorgeous laundry room with tile floors and Martha Stewart storage units from Home Depot. By keeping some of the existing glass block windows in the lower level, it gave some really nice lighting effects in the master bedroom closet and in the family room, plus it saved money from having to buy more windows. Material list: Wall and Ceiling Color – Aged Beige (Behr PPU 7-9) Trim Color – Riviera Beach (Behr PPU 7-7m) Door Color – Rolling Pebble (Behr PPU 7-23) Hardwoods – Tanzanian Wenge (12mm) Carpet – Touchdown Caramel (528-529) Living Room Light – 13″ Bronze 2-Light Flushmount Twin-Pack (790-545) Dining Room Chandelier – 3-Light Bronze Riverside by Progress (661-224) Baseboards – Pro-Pack of 7/16″x3″x12′ (143-210) ...
