Partner Driven and Vance Hudgins purchased this property in Mount Juliet, Tennessee on 8/30/2024 for $190,000. We invested $183,151 into renovations—$60,000 of that from unexpected vandalism during construction. Despite selling the home for $390,000 on 4/11/2025, the added costs led to a financial loss on this flip.

What was the outcome?

The home sold for $390,000, but due to the unexpected renovation spike, the deal ended in a loss. It was a tough pill to swallow but a valuable experience in risk management.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

This deal reminded us that even the best-laid plans can go sideways. Vandalism completely derailed our original budget, but we saw the project through to the end. It's a testament to the grit and determination behind every flip—win or lose.
