Partner Driven partnered with Vance Hudgins to take on a major renovation project in Nashville, Tennessee. The property was purchased for $295,000 and upgraded with $182,807 in improvements before selling for $574,900. This deal is a strong example of how strategic renovations and disciplined execution can turn a distressed property into a high-value resale.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

This home had significant untapped potential. Located in a highly desirable Nashville area, it offered strong resale demand and enough margin to justify a large renovation. The structure and layout made it ideal for a modern update that would appeal to buyers seeking a fully finished, move-in ready home.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Vance sourced the property through direct-to-seller outreach. The seller needed a smooth, as-is sale, creating the perfect opportunity to negotiate terms that aligned with the scope of the planned renovation. Acting quickly and presenting a clear offer allowed Vance to secure the property before other investors stepped in.

How did you finance this deal?

Partner Driven funded 100% of the capital required, including the $295,000 purchase and the $182,807 renovation budget. With full financial backing, Vance could focus on managing the project without personal financial risk. This structure supported a large-scale renovation that ultimately yielded strong returns.

How did you add value to the deal?

The home underwent a full interior and exterior transformation. Renovations included updated flooring, kitchen and bathroom remodels, modern fixtures, paint, and improved curb appeal. Each upgrade was strategically selected to match Nashville’s competitive buyer expectations, maximizing the property's final market value.

What was the outcome?

The property sold for $574,900 after renovations, delivering a substantial profit after expenses. The final product stood out in the neighborhood as a fully updated, move-in ready home. The sale validated the renovation strategy and demonstrated the impact of pairing funding with quality project management.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Large-scale renovations often come with surprises—contractor coordination, supply delays, and uncovering unforeseen issues during construction. Vance navigated each challenge with persistence. The lesson: with solid planning, adaptability, and strong support, even major projects can produce exceptional results.
