This is tampa, florida,
A destination city with gorgeous weather,
And a hot real estate market.
I'm dolmar cross,
And when it comes to flipping zombie houses here,
I'm the deal maker, with style.
-We got a deal? -We have a deal.
I buy ugly, nasty, disgusting zombie houses
At rock bottom prices,
And transform them into sexy masterpieces.
My friend, and agent, sam middleton
Is known as the hammer.
Because she doesn't put up with any bs.
If things go wrong, she's going to come down on you
Like a hammer.
We can't list the house like this, it looks bad.
[dolmar] in order to make a flip stand out in tampa,
Well, you got to make it sexy.
Designer, amanda areopagita, brings her vision
And helps us turn these houses
From trashy zombies to sexy and stylish homes.
Wow, it looks really good.
It's messy work, but somebody has got to do it.
Let's do this, I need you amped up and excited.
The badder the zombie...
-Look at this thing. -Wow.
...The bigger the reward.
-Damn! -Oh!
I'm not going in there.
This is zombie house flipping, tampa.
[dolmar] did you see amanda this weekend?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, can you not die on us please?
Even surfing comes with sharks.
And if you don't mess with them, they don't mess with you.
-Yeah. -Unless you look like dinner.
Yeah, just don't act like bait.
Anyway, you got a deal for us, sam?
Yes, I literally have the [bleep] house ever for us.
I think it's going to be a great deal.
You wanted zombie, and I have it.
I had originally planned on getting in really fast,
But the tenants decided to squat.
They literally let their dogs poop, or whatever.
It's a poop house,
there's poop everywhere.
It's not worth sitting around on it,
With the market turning a little bit.
So, I think it's a good opportunity for us to jv.
Dolmar and I work on a lot of zombie flips together,
But sometimes, we also do our flips solo.
But with evicting the previous tenants,
And things taking a little longer than usual,
I thought dolmar and I should really
Pool our resources together to get this one done on time.
We already have funding and everything in place.
So we can just get in and do the job.
I was able to secure the financing
Through a balloon loan,
Which is a great way for lenders to hold investors accountable,
To get the flips done on time.
As long as dolmar and I stay on track,
This will be a nice quick way for us both to make a profit.
So, we'll purchase this zombie for $230,000.
Do you have any pictures of the house, as well?
Yes, I do, I can show you pictures.
I just texted you a video.
Jeez! I thought, when you said poop all over,
Like a little here and there, but.
No, and the longer we let it sit,
The, like, more unhealthy it's getting.
This is in temple terrace.
Which is a very up and coming neighborhood.
There's tons of new remodels and investors in temple terrace.
So, to have a deal in that area, is like huge.
-It's hard to find deals there. -Super hard.
Because everybody wants to be there.
How many bedrooms and baths does it?
It is a three-two and it's just under 1,300 square feet.
The arv, originally was comping around $350.
I'll dig into those a little bit again,
And make sure we're still looking good for that.
-It's a good size house. -That is a good size.
And I think there's just a ton of potential there.
Since we're together, why don't we go and check it out today,
Instead of waiting.
Well, I need to change.
Get some booties, for our shoes.
Is two hours ten gonna be enough change and meet back up?
-Yeah. -Meet here and drive over there,
-We'll just drive one car. -All right, sounds good.
I love this area, I love this area a lot.
I saw that the house is close to a canal,
So I'm really interested in seeing like the backyard,
And what kind of water access.
I think that's the hillsborough river.
And location is everything, right?
Everybody wants to be in tampa, close to downtown.
Not only that,
But it's proximity to the university of south florida
Makes temple terrace a thriving college town,
Which is perfect for families and faculty.
This popular community so close to downtown,
Will make this house perfect for a money making makeover.
I'm already gagging thinking about going in this house.
The pictures show it's a pretty simple rehab,
But from what you're telling me,
These tenants destroyed the house.
So, the pictures may not represent
-What the house looks like now. -Just figuring out,
What the heck is going on over there.
What's the timeline on the loan,
-What's the balloon date? -60 days.
So, we actually have to really move fast.
Balloon loans are a happy medium between lenders and investors.
Essentially, they're amortized
Like a traditional 30 year mortgage
To keep the monthly payments low,
But the loan balance is due
Within a much shorter period of time.
The problem with a balloon loan is, when it's due,
You either have to pay the loan in full,
Or you have to extend the loan for a fee.
So we're tight on time, we got to get in and out.
But we can get it done, right?
I don't know the condition of the house.
That means we've got to get in and out as quickly as possible.
Get the house listed, hopefully we find a buyer quickly,
Because of your genius design.
We need to get the orders on the materials done this week,
No later than this week.
We'll get it done, one way or another.
All right, here she is.
She's a beauty.
Oh, my god, it's so ugly.
How about you open the windows for us on this beauty.
-Be a gentleman. -Air it out a little bit. Yeah.
Oh, you want me to air it out for you.
Make sure there's no squatters.
-Well that I will do. -Make sure the house is clear
-Of everything but poop. -Door's locked.
Oh, god, there's a lot of poop in here.
-Oh, I smell it already. -Can I get your boots,
-I mean your booties. -Go ahead, you're doing great.
-Way to lead the pack. -I don't want to touch anything.
Oh, my god.
Its slippery in here.
-No! -No!
Oh, frick, the smell.
Yo, there's flies and wet poop everywhere.
We're airing it out.
This 1971 single family, ranch style home
Is 1,275 square feet.
With three bedrooms and two baths.
The house has a shed out back, and a large yard.
Whoo, man!
I smell money.
Yeah, we should just do what we need to do, and get out.
-Because my stomach's turning. -Yeah.
It's not that bad. Let's do this.
I need you amped up and excited.
We're about to make money.
-You guys ready? -No!
-Whoo! -Oh, my god.
Watch out for the land mines.
There's a huge pile right there.
No, we got to go quicker, go go go.
-Count the bedrooms. -Oh, my god.
Oh, I stepped on bomb. This is nasty.
Oh, it's not working,
-The mask is not working. -It's not.
Bedroom.
Bathroom.
It looks like we need a new door right here?
Bathroom here.
So this looks like almost a half bath.
-You could add a shower in here. -Yeah.
I'm out of here guys, it stinks. I'm going.
You guys are moving through this way to fast.
There's another bedroom. So there is three bedrooms.
-Oh, it's really bad in here. -Stop.
-I can't. -So this is the third bedroom?
Yes, with a cage, and I can't do it anymore guys, I can't do it.
Oh, man, that thing is full of poop. [laughs]
Gross, not it's too bad, it's too bad.
-Wait, sam! -I'm going out back.
-Sam, no, no. -Oh!
[coughs]
-Oh, god, I can't even. -Take a look at this kitchen.
[amanda] it's so gross.
-So we got an ac unit here. -This needs to get moved,
Because that's in the middle of the kitchen.
-If we can move this over there. -The laundry room?
I don't know how you guys are doing that.
Okay, I'm coming. Oh, there's cockroaches.
-This room is full of poop. -[bleep] literally.
So the laundry room is pretty big, guys.
Uh-huh.
We could definitely probably move the ac handler in here,
Just depends on what it costs us to do that.
Got ya, no problem.
All right, let's see the backyard real quick.
Looks like they just dumped all their trash back here.
-Bicycles, there's furniture. -A tonne of overgrowth.
There's a lot to do, but this is a really good sized backyard.
And a shed though, which looks great.
All right, I think we've seen what we've got to see.
God, I've got to go back through?
Is there an exit anywhere?
I'm just gonna go on the side of the house.
Go fast, dolmar, I'm running through.
I'm running, so I'm going to push you through the poop,
If you don't go.
-Careful. -I got it.
There's nothing on this side,
-What are you going to step on? -We're okay.
Good!, yup!
Amanda's always climbing something.
So, what do you guys think?
It's definitely three-two, or three-one and a half.
But can easily be a three-two.
For sure, three-two. Which is great,
Because that's what we were basically comping it at anyway.
This should be a nice quick easy flip, right?
I mean getting it at 230, arv 350.
I'm thinking cost wise, on the repairs,
Probably around 50 to 60,000.
I see 60,000 on the high end,
Just for any unexpected surprises.
Sam bought this zombie of a house for $230,000.
With a balloon loan payment that comes due in 60 days.
Or else we incur additional fees.
We budgeted and estimated $60,000 for renovations.
Which we plan to turn around in 30 days.
So we can get this property sold
Before the loan comes due.
When we sell the property
Our realtor commissions and closing costs
Will come to around $17,500.
And since we're giving ourselves 30 days,
Our loan interest will end up around $2,900.
Which brings our total investment to about $310,400.
Now, when it's all said and done,
We're hoping to sell this house for around $350,000
Which gives us a potential profit of about $40,000.
[amanda] first things first,
Throughout the whole three bedroom, two bathroom house,
Our friends from handy can dumpsters
Will clean and clear the entire house of dog excrement.
Next, we'll replace the flooring throughout,
With waterproof laminate.
Both bathrooms will be receiving a major makeover,
With all new plumbing, sinks, showers, toilets and tubs,
To give it a clean look and feel.
In the massive laundry room,
We will be adding a closet for extra storage.
In the kitchen, we'll move the ac handler
From the middle of the room.
We haven't quite figured out where it will live,
But we do know that the closet that the ac was in
Will be knocked down.
We'll also replace all of the cabinets, counter tops
And major appliances with brand new material.
[dolmar] before we could do anything to this house,
We've got to make sure all of the dog mess, is out.
The odor caused by dog feces is a major health hazard
And I had to send a team in to clean it up
First thing this morning.
Now that the dog [bleep] out of the house,
We can now finally get started on the demo.
Our crew is scraping away the gross moldy ceilings
And cleaning up the non-poop related debris in this zombie.
We're gutting the kitchen,
And when we're done with the demo,
This house will be nothing but clean and empty rooms
Willing to be brought back to life.
Between the interior of the house and the backyard,
The amount of haul away, is staggering.
And we're going to make short work of our handy can dumpster.
-All right, here we are guys. -All right.
-Whoo. -Wow!
I could smell it from here.
You guys ready to make this one sexy?
-Yes. -You ready to put some work in?
We're gonna make it sexy?
Unfortunately, since getting this dog dookie cleaned up
And disposed of, has taken longer
Than we originally thought it would,
Demo is still happening today, on day two.
I'm not going in there, if poop's not out yet.
My team got a crew in here yesterday, done.
I hope it can get rid of that smell.
I could still smell the poop.
If we can't get rid of this smell,
I can't sell this house.
We risk buyers not coming
And putting offers in on our property.
The poop smell is still there, but not as intense as before.
Since you guys ran through the house last time, basically.
I want you guys to take a look at the kitchen again.
And actually focus on what needs to get done.
-Yes. -Okay.
-Can we just go inside? -Yes, please.
The whole poop situation
Has already put us behind a day on our demo.
Because of the balloon loan payment coming due in 60 days,
We want to get this house on the market as quickly as possible.
It smells like roses in here.
We gave ourselves a 30 day time line to finish this flip,
So that we can get it sold within the 60 days.
Let me see how much work they did in here already.
-Oh, blegh. -What?
I'm not going first, he's not going for a reason.
God that smell is strong.
Because this kitchen is seasoned.
[laughs]
You get used to it after a little bit.
This is interesting.
Yeah, I don't like the air condition unit, right here.
And I don't like this refrigerator in between walls.
It's kind of wonky.
-What's on the other side? -Let's take a look?
Yes, it's the linen closet.
This is where the fridge is right?
On the other side of this?
Well, it's on this side, right here.
So, do you want to take this out?
For sure, because it'll make a better kitchen design plan.
Because that wall in the corner, it's just weird.
It's sexy time, now that the poop has gone.
Now that the poop is out, because that was the big deal.
Like the poop is gone,
And now we can get excited about this project.
I just couldn't deal with it before.
I feel like I still see poop on the walls.
They only came and cleaned the floors.
Yeah, the walls are so dirty and nasty,
I don't want to touch anything.
The crew is working hard to finish up the demo,
So that we can get our schedule back on track,
To hit our 30 day timeline for this flip.
Now the kitchen is fully gutted
And we're ready to start construction.
Today, we're going to start converting
That primary half bath, into a full bath.
Turning an en suite from a half bath to a full bath
Will really increase the value of this home,
And make it super sexy.
We were able to find the room for a shower,
By knocking down the adjacent closet.
Closet space is nice,
But when it comes to increasing the arv,
An extra shower is way better.
Now, it's just a matter of laying down the pvc pipe
To get the shower working,
And we can get started roughing in the new toilet,
The sink, the shower and tile.
Outside, we're taking care of the landscaping
And hacking away at any unruly weeds.
We're chiseling off some of the stone and stucco facade
Around the window and support posts.
The doors are also getting a new coat of paint.
The interior doors will be painted a dark gray,
Called shadow mountain.
And we're painting the exterior of the house,
A light beige called polished marble.
I wanted to talk to you guys about this.
So, we got permits pulled for the bathroom.
Why are you looking like that?
We got permits pulled for the bathroom.
You just always have guilt face.
How do I have guilt face? Is that really a thing?
So, I put on defense face, and I put on my armor ready
For whatever you're about to dish out.
-So hear me out. -Okay.
We're trying to move fast, as you know, hire a new crew,
Try to also save money, and be cheaper.
Oh, you got it on discount.
Yeah.
And last week they came and laid the pipe,
And they didn't do it right.
It failed inspection because, when the inspector came,
He was like, "listen, they didn't use the right materials",
When you flush the toilet,
Because it didn't have a vent set up either,
So when you flush the toilet,
The sewage will come up in the shower.
-What the [bleep], man? -Yeah.
This is an issue,
Because now it's going to cost us more money,
And what about time?
So, I had the new crew come out, the very next day
After it failed inspection.
And they fixed this, everything you see here.
They worked throughout the weekend,
-To get it done. -I see what you did.
-What? -You [bleep] up
And then hurried up to fix the mistake,
Before I came,
So you didn't have to tell me the bad news,
And only deliver good news.
We're not done, we're not through inspection?
You walking into a solution, it's fixed.
I appreciate that, but it's not inspected, right?
When we pass, see, when, not if.
So, when we pass,
The next step would be to get the shower pan
Installed and the valves,
And then we'll do our next rough-in inspection.
We have another inspection?
Yeah, another inspection.
But, in this area,
From my experience, inspections seem to be very quick.
We can schedule it the next day, and they come out.
That could have just been luck, like we're not guaranteed
That going to be like, "ready for inspection",
...But I can't call it in ahead until the work's done.
We can't like schedule it now?
I don't know how long it's going to take.
I mean they say, x amount of days
But I want to make sure it's done,
-And not wasting time. -This is only a 30 day flip.
So, we have less than two weeks left,
And we are working really hard to beat the clock right now.
I'm very disappointed that we failed
The first bathroom inspection.
Plumbing is not cheap, and doing the same task twice,
Is not only more expensive than doing it right the first time,
But we also have this balloon loan payment over our head.
And the longer it takes to complete this flip,
Is the less time that sam has to sell this house,
Before the balloon loan payment expires.
The reason that we did this in the first place,
Was because we need that full second bathroom
In order to make the comps where we need to be on the resale.
-I got you. -We need two bathrooms,
They need to be completed.
I'm nervous that we're not going to have this done on time.
[sam] with this being a quick, 30 day flip,
We don't have time for these issues.
We don't have time for these delays.
I'm nervous that we're not gonna have this done on time.
I'll have it done. The guys are back tomorrow
To put in the shower pan, and start the rest of the work.
Then we'll get the next inspection done.
I'm confident we'll get it done quickly.
The major thing left in this house,
Is these bathrooms.
Once the bathrooms are done, everything else is light.
Well, I hope your confidence is correct.
'cause we're gonna be ticked off if we have thousands
-Of dollars in fees. -I don't want that either.
It's thousands. It's not like it's a small fee, it's pricey.
It's going to cut into our profits significantly.
To sell this house, by the time the balloon payment is due,
We need to finish this flip within the next 30 days.
30 day flip gives us another month
To show the home to prospective buyers,
And get it under contract
Before the loan is called due, in 60 days.
This time line is super tight.
A year ago, I wouldn't have worried
About selling the deal in less than a month,
But with the way the market is shifting,
I need to give myself extra time to ink the deal.
We need this to do this in the time frame
That doesn't affect the balloon payment.
-That's fast approaching so. -It's very fast approaching.
-The urgency, I know. -Very fast.
-Yeah, I feel it. -Trying to stay calm,
So, you know, instead of freaking out.
While we wait on the plumbing issues to get resolved,
There is still a lot of work to get done elsewhere.
Today, we're running wiring,
And installing brand new outlets
And switches throughout the entire house.
We're also installing ceiling fixtures like the ceiling fans,
With a black matte finish,
Which will contrast against the white walls nicely.
What's up?
Hello, how you doing?
I wanted to let you know real quick, I got an email back.
The plumbing inspection at the house just passed.
-Oh, good. - We finally finalized it.
Thank goodness.
So, we can keep working,
And get this done on the appropriate timeline?
Yes, they should be able to start finishing the tiling
In the bathroom, get the toilet and everything in
And finish up that bathroom, so we can list this house soon.
Good, okay. Because we got that balloon payment coming up.
If we don't hit our timelines.
I'm looking to avoid it.
Yes. If we didn't have to go over budget
To get the right plumber to and fix the issues,
But right now we're all in on that bathroom, at $10,000.
But, now that we're done, it's fixed.
Should be able to start tiling the bathroom,
Putting in the toilet.
Get the whole bathroom.
So the guys should be able to wrap things up this week.
It'll take them like two days to get that bathroom done.
- Two days at most. -Okay, awesome.
Well, all right, cool. That's good news.
The only thing left, I think, is the kitchen,
And the cabinets, but they should be there today.
Okay.
Should be able to wrap that kitchen up.
So, the bathroom, the kitchen,
Those things should all be done within the next two days or so.
So, we can still hit the timeline,
Get the house listed,
- So we can sell this quickly. -Oh, I got you.
Thanks for the update.
-I'll see you soon. - All right, bye bye.
Here in florida,
If you don't have a functioning air conditioning unit,
You don't have a functioning house.
So, getting the hvac set up
Has been a priority, since day one.
We're installing a brand new ac condenser unit outside,
And running refrigerated tube-in to the inside.
Inside, we're running the air supply ducts
Throughout the attic.
While that's going on,
We have crews patching the damaged walls
And ceilings with new sheet rock.
We decided to add laminate flooring
Throughout the entire house, which means putting it directly
On top of some of the existing tile.
The guys are knocking
The tongue and groove laminate in place,
To make it nice and snug,
And cutting custom pieces to fit the edges.
The type of laminate we decided on is called lenora sunset
Which has nice light earth tones
That will brighten the house.
We're 16 days into our flip,
And even though we ran into some issues,
Our budget isn't looking too bad.
We planned on spending $60,000 on this flip,
And so far, we've only spent $20,000.
As long as we stay on track without any hiccups or delays,
We should be good in getting this flip
Completed under budget
Within the 30 day timeline.
[sam] this house is looking really nice.
-The color looks good. -I just hope that smell is gone.
All right, so the floor is done, looking good.
It does look good. But it doesn't smell good.
What do you mean?
You don't smell it a little bit still?
Still smells like poop a little.
He didn't smell it when there was poo all over the floor.
-He's not going to smell it now. -No, it doesn't.
You have covid nose. It smells a little in here still.
-I smell new material. -New floors, new paint.
We did the hvac thought, right? Like everything?
But what's exciting, there's no air handler right here.
Yes!
You got your way on that, for sure.
-Look how open it is now? -It does look good,
-I like it a lot better. -So where is it now?
Where did it go?
Well, it was right here in the closet.
You see this space, they put it right here.
They took it, and pushed it up.
Brand new unit as well, a new air handler.
A new condenser outside.
Have you checked it out yet?
I have not, but now would be a good time to do it.
There might be poop up there too.
You think they'd put poop up there?
I mean, the amount of poop.
...But, you never know with the amount there.
-You guys really smell poop? -A little bit.
I feel like it's mostly gone, but I smell it a little still.
There's a ladder here, there's no poop.
Prove it.
I don't think there's any poop in the attic,
But I do want to see the air handler we moved
From the kitchen, into the attic.
So two birds, one stone.
All right.
-I'm going in. -I guess I'll hold this.
It is dark up here.
Well, it looks pretty good.
-Is there poop? -Yeah.
I don't see any poop, but the duct work looks good.
-Do you see any dog skeletons? -What is this?
-What the [bleep] is this? -What is it?
Like, what is happening?
That is witchcraft.
Oh, yeah.
-That's the witchcraft symbol. -Yep.
That's freaking creepy man,
They're going to put curse on us.
-I'm not touching that. -Let me bring the stuff down,
So you guys can see what the hell's in here.
Oh, my god!
Look at this. What does this look like to you?
It's not a ouiji board, but it looks like a ouiji board.
What's that on the front of the blanket?
Oh, the design?
-No, I can't, no. -Oh, see, yeah,
-The whole blanket is-- -no, this is all bad.
We need to get rid of it.
Look, let's just hope there's no other surprises in this house,
Otherwise, I will think it's cursed.
Can we just get this out of here, like wrap it up,
Throw it away, burn it.
Oh, god.
Well, I'll bring a fatty next time.
-What does that mean? -A big fat thing of sage.
When it comes to amanda, you have to ask for clarity.
I don't know what the hell she talks about sometimes.
[sam] we finally have the plumbing issues behind us.
Dolmar's second plumbing crew was able to come in,
And fix the issues the inspector flagged.
And now we're racing to beat the clock.
We're getting down to the wire,
If we want to finish this house in 30 days.
So, I'm really hoping that the bathroom hiccup is behind us.
And they're already working on tiling and completing this job.
Where is everybody?
What the [bleep]!
[dolmar] hey.
Hey, there's nobody here working,
And there's nothing done in the bathroom either.
-Are you serious? -Yeah, I'm dead serious.
There's nobody here, like a ghost town.
The guys are supposed to be there
-Since 8 o'clock this morning. -There's nobody here.
Oh, my god.
Like there's nothing done, nobody is here.
It's a ghost town.
Oh, what do you mean?
I mean there's nobody here, I'm here all by myself.
And the fact that nobody is here working right now,
This is bull [bleep]. Like this is real bad.
Are you close by? Can you just come over here?
Yeah, I'm right on it, I'm on my way now
To check in on them anyway.
All right, I'll see you in a minute.
-I'm coming out. -All right, bye.
Oh, my god. [groans]
-Sam, where you at? -Hey.
-I'm back here. -Hey.
-What's going on? -Look at the bathroom.
Like, literally nothing has been done in here.
-Nothing at all. -[bleep]
Like, didn't you stress the urgency to these guys,
-That this had to be done? Yeah.
They're supposed to be here. I told them they were.
I told them we don't have a lot of time.
Start tiling, put the shower pan in, all of it.
I'm surprised it's not even started.
Now that I think about it, I don't even know
If the cabinets are here yet?
Let's go look, because we need to check this out.
-Okay. -Because we do not have time
For this [bleep] right now.
This house shouldn't be empty, you know?
There should be people here.
Yeah, see, no [bleep] cabinets here, dolmar.
This is going to delay us again, and we only have a week?
-Is that all we have left? -If that.
You need to do me a favor,
Because I think that you're a little calm,
And maybe that's why they're not here right now.
You have this calmness about you.
You need to get like the urgency kicked in,
And like really get on everybody's asses.
The crew needs to be working on the bathroom.
I handle stress differently than you.
Like you remember we're on a time crunch,
So they're calling this loan due.
And we are about to have to pay penalties to extend the loan.
And we're very tight on that time right now.
That's going to cost thousands of dollars to extend.
These kitchen cabinets not being in is a domino effect,
Without the cabinets, they can't work on the counter tops.
They can't work on the appliances,
They can't finish the kitchen.
So now we've got to jump back on the ball
And get somebody there quick,
So that it doesn't delay the project anymore.
So today we have to go order cabinets,
And the cabinets are going to be at least five grand.
Maybe more.
All right so, solution.
I'm processing what you're saying
And I'm thinking of solutions, right?
I agree, we probably just need to go
To one of these local cabinet stores,
And find in-stock cabinets that we can get in here,
In the next day or two.
Just to get this house done and sold, as quickly as possible.
If we have to buy new cabinets, we cannot wait for counter top,
We're gonna have to go butcher block.
You want regular counter tops, but you don't have time.
-...But-- -you don't have time.
I know, I know.
We have to be able to get something that fits
In this grid, doesn't need to be custom, is in stock,
That we can take right now to install on time.
To get butcher block on there and have this done.
The sexy is not coming in like I hoped.
We're gonna have to get basic stuff.
Oh my god, who's going to install the cabinets
If we get them in stock anyway?
I know everybody is like, "you need it now",
-But this is just the stuff we're facing right now. -Triple the price.
Yep.
This is like a $10,000 cut off our profit,
Just for this one blow.
On top of the guys not working on the bathroom right now.
Oh, my god.
Between the bathroom not being done,
And the kitchen cabinets nowhere to be found on the site,
I don't know how we're gonna get this done on time.
We should be staging right now.
This is by no way, shape or form sexy.
This is ugly and if we're gonna have to extend the loan
And buy new kitchen cabinets,
The renovation costs for this flip are going to be ugly too.
This is all time is money,
And I'm starting to see all the profit like getting eaten away,
And it's frustrating.
But like the urgency is really real at this point.
I'm still pulling together all the staging.
[bleep] man.
Whenever you figure that out, let me know.
We have a deposit with the cabinet company too.
Oh, so that's more money lost, or will we get that back?
-Definitely gonna get it back. -You promise?
I got you.
We are in this together, I got you.
You are way too [bleep] calm.
We need cabinets, we're just eating into profits.
It's irritating at this point.
We have [bleep] to get done.
[dolmar] it's day 36 of our 30 day flip,
And we obviously have a lot more work to do.
We had to extend our balloon loan another 30 days.
But we want the house completed within 45
So we can sell it in the new 60 day timeline.
Both bathrooms will have
A large format tile in the shower.
In the primary bath,
That will be an aneco white porcelain tile.
The shower floor will also be porcelain tile,
In a hexagon mosaic pattern.
The two tiles will play off each other nicely.
The unique single lever faucet for the sink
And the stainless steel shower panel,
Are both from alfi, and they really stand out.
Giving this bathroom a sleek and sexy vibe.
In the kitchen, we were lucky
To get the cabinets installed quickly.
And amanda came up huge,
Saving us a tonne of money with the butcher block counter tops,
Which weren't only less expensive,
But relatively quick to install.
[sam] our initial renovation costs were budgeted at $60,000.
But we had some hiccups along the way,
Like the bathroom failing inspection
And delays with the kitchen cabinets arriving.
Miraculously we're still under budget at $51,749.
-[amanda] hey girl. -[sam] hello.
-Hi, how are you. Good. -How are you?
Oh, looking up zombie houses.
-I think I might have found one. -We've had enough zombies.
We had enough adventures on this one.
So, we did end up having to extend that balloon payment.
-Oh, my gosh. -It has been quite the journey.
After the failed bathroom inspection,
And the kitchen debacle,
We had no choice but to extend the balloon loan.
Otherwise, we would have had to pay the entire balance,
Or I would have had to sell this property in a week.
I'm really good at what I do, but that's close to impossible
In a booming market, let alone the current market.
At least, on some of the kitchen things
You were able to save a little money on,
We were also able to save some money
On the build and installation.
So, I think overall we're going to make it up for it all.
But I just want to run those numbers really fast.
So, we had to do $2,500
For the mishap in the bathroom.
Okay.
When it failed inspection for the first time.
So, I know the cabinets were about the same costs,
But I think you saved some money on the counter top, right?
Yes. That butcher block,
I'm just trying to make it a new design, friend.
It is so inexpensive.
We're talking about maybe
Material less than a $1,000 for everything.
And then we can get it installed right away.
And by the way, props to you on getting a crew
To install that kitchen last second, too.
Thank you.
I mean they ended up saying us about $3,000, $4,000 on that.
So I think all in all between that counter top
And them coming in and hooking us up
On the installation and the build,
That we've made up for those other fees.
So, it worked out?
-[laughs] it looks like it. -We just got lucky, that's all.
As long as we just keep going on this ride,
And getting it done,
And not having any more hiccups along the way.
Make sure we stay in budget
And make some profits on these houses.
I don't feel great about paying the extension fee,
But in this business, we've got to work with what we've got.
And extending the loan is our only option at this point.
It's easier to spend the money, until you see the bills.
So, we have to be aware of everything.
We're gonna finish this house!
[sam] we're a little later in the timeline,
But we are finally starting staging today.
Is this going to be in the way, guys?
Or is this okay?
I may be biased because I own my own staging company,
But staging a home is so important
To get perspective buyers on board.
Got to pull this mattress out,
Then we can put the box spring on, and then...
Oh! [laughs]
And even though we extended the balloon loan,
And have more time to sell this house,
And fine tune the interior work.
I still want to unload this property
As quickly as possible.
And that means staging the house as quickly as I can.
So, I have an army with me,
And we're going to furnish this whole home in a day,
List it, and work to sell it fast.
[dolmar] you guys ready?
Driving it like you stole it, d.
Hey.
-Look at this. -I love it.
I forget what the whole house looked like,
Because I couldn't get past the smell.
-That's right. -Like, we could smell it
From the moment we got out of the car.
And like, I probably just blacked out.
I don't remember anything about this house.
-It looks good. -Yeah.
It looks good, yeah.
I'm proud of us. It looks really good here.
[sam] this is looking very, very, very good.
It used to be a smurf blue, this whole house.
Remember the rocks,
That were from like the dinosaur age, on the posts.
I just like the red door.
It's sexy, it's spicy. It stands out, it pops.
The lawn is looking much better.
The landscaping is looking much better.
-We got to give credit. -Thank you.
Because you planted these yourself? I mean..
I gave direction. I picked it out,
I laid it out, I told them what wood to get.
-It looks good, you did good. -It has nice curb appeal.
-Hey, you want to see inside? -I do!
-Whoa. -Oh, hello.
[sam] I forget what the whole house looked like
Because I couldn't get past the smell.
-Wow, it looks so good. -[sam] nice.
It looks really good.
-Very cozy. -Very homey.
And it doesn't stink.
I really want to see this kitchen.
Looks like this butcher block, seems like it's your thing?
[amanda] yeah, and it looks good. It's still sexy.
Pulling in the wood lighting, with the wood butcher block.
It's just nice little design touches for this.
I like this light, I think it's really unique.
And I like how it flows all the way through to the dining room.
I want to see the bedrooms.
How do the bedrooms look, and the bathroom?
-Look at this bathroom. -This looks fancy.
So, what is this thing here.
That's a shower fixture from alfi,
And it's just different operations in taking a shower.
It gets your undercarriage, as well as other things.
-[laughs] -the hard to reach places?
This tile, my influence was thinking of waterfalls,
When you're in the tub. So, most of the time
You see this tile horizontally, but I went vertically.
I think it looks really nice.
It looks very expensive, very sexy.
Even more sexy is this warming towel rack.
You know, you step out of the tub,
The towels are wrapped within this warming,
And you just feel so good, when you come out of the shower.
Okay, let's go take a look at the bedroom across the hall.
[dolmar] this room used to be so [bleep].
-This is staged as an office? -It is, yes.
Because the point is to give our buyers options.
We know a lot of people are working from home nowadays.
We have three solid bedrooms in this house,
You don't need to stage them all as bedrooms.
It looks at different living situations,
Whether it's a couple, starting family,
People working from home,
Which was a big thing in this past couple of years.
You got some fancy fans in here.
Oh, yeah, I got to make it sexy.
I like this gray color, I like that they're not just jet black.
This is my favorite room.
Wow, it's the primary, presidential suite now.
-It's a really big space. -Yeah.
It totally got reconfigured.
This is now a dressing area. His and her closet.
I love this. Like buyers are going to walk in
And love how big this space is.
And like to have a primary bedroom this large,
Is not really common in this neighborhood.
So, I think it's gonna be a huge draw.
But what I've been waiting to really check out,
Is that we took the old closet.
And you made it into the full shower.
So now we have a complete second full bathroom.
Yeah, you can't have a primary bedroom
Without a full bathroom.
-I agree. -There's no way.
You utilized the space, it feels so good in here.
I know buyers are going to walk in and really love this shower.
It's going to help with the value too,
-On the re-sale. -Absolutely,
It raised the purchase price, that we can sell the house at.
So it's all works out in our favor,
Especially if we're going over budget.
If we didn't do this, that would not have been good.
-Looks good. -Looks really good.
Do you want to test it out?
-No! You're so weird. -[laughs]
You test it out.
Let's check out the other bedroom.
So everything was just so dark.
-Yeah. -Very very dark.
These windows look so good.
It's a nice pop to every single room,
And it brings all the natural light in.
This space is a little further apart from the other bedrooms,
Be more like a guest bedroom.
To show that you can have company over,
And they don't have to be right over by the primary bedroom.
All right, let's see the backyard real quick.
We can actually walk through the backyard.
Remember, we couldn't do anything back here.
-There was appliances and junk. -Engines, tires,
It was pretty bad back here. But all cleared up now,
It's wide open.
I did not want to spend on sod back here though.
I think the buyers are gonna come back here
And just see how much space they have,
And not really care that it's not fully sodded back here.
I love it. It looks really good.
We listed this house at $330,000,
And after a few days, sam was able to sell it
At the full asking price.
We originally paid $230,000.
Which had a balloon loan payment,
With a due date of 60 days.
Our renovations were originally budgeted at $60,000.
We came in under budget at an incredible $51,749.
Since we were able to sell this re-animated zombie of the mls,
There was no buyers' agent commission on this flip.
So, our total closing cost came to $6,600.
We were able to sell this house
Within the full 60 day timeline,
Before the balloon loan expired.
This saved us from having to pay
More loan extension fees,
Which resulted in interests cost
At $5,600.
Our total flipping cost
Came in at $293,949.
Our take home profits came in at $36,051.
All right, what do you have for us?
Because you had me freaked out.
I just have one more thing for us to do,
Before we leave this house, and wrap it up.
-Okay. -You know, when we came in here,
There was like a lot of voodoo stuff.
And then, it even smelt like poop.
So it's time to light up.
Oh, so we're going to cleanse the space.
It's going to release all stagnant energy,
And bring in positive energy into the house.
-This is so silly. -Listen,
Since there was voodoo people in here,
-Let's just do it all. -So, we just walk around.
Yeah.
All right, I think I got all of it.
All right.
Oh, all right, guys, let's get outside
Before we set off the smoke alarms.
-A little much here. -That's good idea.
