Purchase price: $58k cash, Renovations and holding costs $10k.  

Appraised $128K (lower than I expected, but market is tightening up).  Cash out $96K.

Rented at $1200/ mo.  Only on the market for 1 week.    

My Before pics are not great.... the house was pretty nasty.  lol

Um...renovations AND holding costs were $10k?! It looks like you did a lot: exterior paint, roof (?), landscaping, fending, kitchen, flooring...what's your secret? Did you do the work yourself?

    Nice job Mitzi,

    Is the flooring in the LR Alure from Home Depot or original? Any basement or on a slab?

     Hi Scott, 

    Thank you!  The flooring in the living room is laminate.  It was in good shape, just needed cleaning.   No idea where it's from.   The rest of the house we purchased flooring from an small independent vendor.  The house is only about 900 sq ft total.   It's a frame house-- no basement or slab.

    Hi Mitzi,

    It looks great, I love rehabs, especially with before and after pictures. I can tell you have a ton of pride and passion in this project. 

    Good luck!

     Thank you!  This property came to me!  The owner contacted me through social media after seeing one of our flips and asked if I'd be interested in buying his.  Always be marketing!  :)

    Good job @Mitzi Castiglione  

    You should write another post on how to stretch a dollar during the rehab of a property. To get this work done for $10k is more of a feat than anything else. Great job.

    Zoweee - kitchen has cabinets replaced - tile - countertops - flooring - entry door replaced in just that photo alone. Impressive then the exterior is night and day difference. 10k!!! You could make good money doing other peoples flips between your own flips and probably make your loyalty sources even better relationships. Congrats!

    @Mitzi Castiglione wow Amazing work. I can't wait to start. Do you recommend doing this for a newbie. I definitely have the cash. Just educating myself and researching/networking to make sure i make the right moves

    Unbelievable.  You are inspirational.  I hope to be able to flip some properties too.  Hopefully they can be as great as yours!!

    @Mitzi Castiglione How long did everything take? From the time you found the place to the time you got your tenant in and cash out.

    that's amazing. Did you have to get that tree over the house removed or just trimmed down? Tree removal isn't cheap!

    That's killer! I am completing a renovation for under $13k by doing the work all myself too. Amazing how much money you save without paying labor costs @Mitzi Castiglione
