197

We offered the seller
his asking price of $265,000,
198

which also kept us

from competing

200
00:08:25,996 --> 00:08:28,447
We're going to give ourselves
a reno budget of 70,000,
201
00:08:28,447 --> 00:08:30,794
which is fairly large
for the smaller size house,
202
00:08:30,794 --> 00:08:33,797
but the kitchen and bathroom
need a lot of work,
203
00:08:33,797 --> 00:08:35,661
but we think we can get it done
in about two months,
204
00:08:35,661 --> 00:08:38,491
which will cost us $7,800
in loan payments.
205
00:08:38,491 --> 00:08:40,977
Then, when we sell,
we estimate our closing costs
206
00:08:40,977 --> 00:08:42,979
will land around 20,000.
207
00:08:42,979 --> 00:08:46,707
That puts our all-in cost
right around 363 grand.
208
00:08:46,707 --> 00:08:49,088
If we can hit
our projected price of $450,000,
209
00:08:49,088 --> 00:08:52,747
that would net us
the profit of $87,000.

should be the master.

The back bedroom's quieter,
213
00:08:59,409 --> 00:09:01,825
and it doesn't share a wall
with another bedroom.
214
00:09:01,825 --> 00:09:04,621
And all we have to do to connect
it to the adjacent bathroom
215
00:09:04,621 --> 00:09:07,382
is move the door out
to the main hall.
216
00:09:07,382 --> 00:09:09,868
Then we'll create more closet
space in the master
217

by building
a new one in the corner.
218
00:09:12,491 --> 00:09:15,218
The other major change
will be our kitchen expansion.
219

Okay, so what should

372

Ashlee: Any time
you find extra square footage
373
00:16:06,284 --> 00:16:08,631
in a house you're flipping,
it's important to use that space

in a way that's most
appealing to buyers,

even if it's a relatively
small space like this one.
376
00:16:13,808 --> 00:16:15,258
Because whatever you decide
to make it,
377
00:16:15,258 --> 00:16:18,813
it could be that one thing that
nudges someone to make an offer.
378
00:16:18,813 --> 00:16:20,298
Maybe it might help
the kitchen layout
379
00:16:20,298 --> 00:16:21,402

kind of a mess
380

a foot by three feet

is going to be a big deal
for the kitchen?
384
00:16:27,719 --> 00:16:29,514
I think it's going to mean
a lot more to bathroom.
385
00:17:20,116 --> 00:17:21,221
Hey, Justin.
386
00:17:21,221 --> 00:17:23,188
It's time we solve
our front-door problem.
387
00:17:23,188 --> 00:17:26,674
I just don't love this
front-door entry to the house.
388
00:17:26,674 --> 00:17:28,159
Oh, I hate it.
389
00:17:28,159 --> 00:17:30,126
It totally swings
the wrong way.
390
00:17:30,126 --> 00:17:32,715
When you're on the inside,
somebody's like four feet
391
00:17:32,715 --> 00:17:34,475
into your house
before you can see them.
392
00:17:34,475 --> 00:17:36,063
You don't even know
who's coming into your house.
393
00:17:36,063 --> 00:17:38,272
- True.
- We should probably
flip it around.
394
00:17:38,272 --> 00:17:39,791
Yeah, yeah.
Change the swing of it.
395
00:17:39,791 --> 00:17:42,932
And then you walk in like this,
and you walk into your house.
396
00:17:42,932 --> 00:17:46,729
The issue is the hinges
actually stick out.
397
00:17:46,729 --> 00:17:51,216
And over here, the hinges would
be digging into the wall here
398
00:17:51,216 --> 00:17:53,736
because the door frame
is right on the wall.
399
00:17:53,736 --> 00:17:55,772
The whole opening's
barely wider than the door.
400
00:17:55,772 --> 00:17:57,360
Plus, if you swing the door
to the left,
401
00:17:57,360 --> 00:17:59,673
the handle might go right
through that front window.
402
00:17:59,673 --> 00:18:03,366
Everything about
this front-door design is wrong.
403
00:18:03,366 --> 00:18:05,368
It barely fits
this narrow space,
404
00:18:05,368 --> 00:18:07,267

which way it swings,
405
00:18:07,267 --> 00:18:08,923
you got a problem.

just a little bit.

Looks like we have a little
bit of room on the outside.

Quarter inch
or a half inch.

wine units I'd like to show you.

on the left
I've got a dual-zone.
477
00:21:45,416 --> 00:21:47,279
So you can actually set the top
for one temperature,
478
00:21:47,279 --> 00:21:48,764
the bottom
a for different temperature,
479
00:21:48,764 --> 00:21:50,938
so you can actually
- enjoy whites and reds.
- Oh, okay.
480
00:21:50,938 --> 00:21:52,768
- So how many bottles here?
- This is going to hold
481
00:21:52,768 --> 00:21:54,217
right at 50 bottles.
- Mm.
482
00:21:54,217 --> 00:21:55,287
And this specific model
going to come in
483
00:21:55,287 --> 00:21:58,221
right at $1,599
for the double-zone
484
00:21:58,221 --> 00:22:00,292
or right around $1,299
for the single zone.
485
00:22:00,292 --> 00:22:01,639
I mean, that's amazing.
486
00:22:01,639 --> 00:22:03,088
I think we'll probably go
with the single zone.
487
00:22:03,088 --> 00:22:06,609
Yeah.
So adding everything up--It's under five grand,
488
00:22:06,609 --> 00:22:08,370
and usually
- we pay $5,500 nowadays.
- Yeah.
489
00:22:08,370 --> 00:22:10,682

it includes the wine fridge.

00:38:37,323 --> 00:38:39,152
It was full of trash.
There was a fridge.
845
00:38:39,152 --> 00:38:41,776
And then it had block,
- like, stripped, green block.
- Yeah.
846
00:38:41,776 --> 00:38:45,055
Oh, with the paint
- chipping and flaking and stuff?
- Yeah.
847
00:38:45,055 --> 00:38:47,057
Now it just looks incredible.
848
00:38:47,057 --> 00:38:49,128
It's totally finished,
properly drywalled.
849
00:38:49,128 --> 00:38:52,303
The color is really nice.
The new floors. It's fab.
850
00:38:52,303 --> 00:38:54,996
And transformative additions, right?
851
00:38:54,996 --> 00:38:56,860
Window, door, everything.
852
00:38:56,860 --> 00:38:58,827
This is
a usable space now.
853
00:38:58,827 --> 00:39:00,864
Before, it was a throwaway.
- Yeah.
854
00:39:00,864 --> 00:39:03,004
Hey, let's go check out
- the master area.
- Yeah.
855
00:39:03,004 --> 00:39:04,315
♪
856
00:39:04,315 --> 00:39:06,179
Remember the first time
we came into this room?
857
00:39:06,179 --> 00:39:09,355
- It was red and murdery.
- Oh, my God.
858
00:39:09,355 --> 00:39:11,219
It just felt so enclosed.
859
00:39:11,219 --> 00:39:12,254
You couldn't even see
the backyard
860
00:39:12,254 --> 00:39:13,532
'cause the window
was so bad.
861
00:39:13,532 --> 00:39:15,810
Right?
862
00:39:15,810 --> 00:39:18,502
And now
it's astonishing. Hey.
863
00:39:18,502 --> 00:39:19,986
I mean, Keith,
it looks so good, doesn't it?
864
00:39:19,986 --> 00:39:22,610
Yeah, we have a new closet
in the bedroom,
865
00:39:22,610 --> 00:39:23,818
and this actually fits.
866
00:39:23,818 --> 00:39:25,923
Everything comes together.
The bed fits.
867
00:39:25,923 --> 00:39:28,132
Everything is just
the right size.
868
00:39:28,132 --> 00:39:29,375
It's very soothing.
869
00:39:29,375 --> 00:39:31,515
I love the new paint color
and the new texture.
870
00:39:31,515 --> 00:39:32,965
It's just really nice
in here now.
871
00:39:32,965 --> 00:39:34,449
Yeah, it is.
872
00:39:34,449 --> 00:39:36,658
Shall we go check out
the master bathroom?
873
00:39:36,658 --> 00:39:37,763
♪
874
00:39:37,763 --> 00:39:39,316
Remember there used
to be a tub here
875
00:39:39,316 --> 00:39:42,388
and this area was, like,
built in, covered over.
876
00:39:42,388 --> 00:39:44,528
Yeah, it was kind of a soffit,
a downward soffit,
877
00:39:44,528 --> 00:39:46,323
Yeah, a downward soffit.
878
00:39:46,323 --> 00:39:48,946
Opening that up and then
creating room for a shower,
879
00:39:48,946 --> 00:39:51,362
toilet, sink, vanity,
everything, it just works.
880
00:39:51,362 --> 00:39:53,330
And I like the size
of the shower. It's huge.
881
00:39:53,330 --> 00:39:55,332
Now it's really something.
It's really something.
882
00:39:55,332 --> 00:39:56,644
It came together so well.
883
00:39:56,644 --> 00:39:58,577
The last thing is
the other bedroom.
884
00:39:58,577 --> 00:39:59,888
- Yeah.
- Let's go check that out.
885
00:39:59,888 --> 00:40:01,752
You know what I remember
about this bathroom?
886
00:40:01,752 --> 00:40:03,236
It felt like somebody
had started
887
00:40:03,236 --> 00:40:05,376
to renovate it
and just gave up.
888
00:40:05,376 --> 00:40:07,586
Remember all that wood rot?
It was terrible.
889
00:40:07,586 --> 00:40:10,312
Oh, yeah. The bottom,
the shower was coming apart.
890
00:40:10,312 --> 00:40:11,659
You felt like you're just going
to fall through
891
00:40:11,659 --> 00:40:14,696
into the crawl space,
but now look at the shower.
892
00:40:14,696 --> 00:40:16,698
It's just beautiful.
The shower head is nice
893
00:40:16,698 --> 00:40:19,425
and high up, and the fixtures
are really good.
894
00:40:19,425 --> 00:40:22,497
And the herringbone pattern
on the floor is very sharp.
895
00:40:22,497 --> 00:40:24,534
And for a hall bath,
having the tile
896
00:40:24,534 --> 00:40:26,570
built all the way around,
that's kind of nice.
897
00:40:26,570 --> 00:40:28,054
It's a nice little touch.
- Yeah.
898
00:40:28,054 --> 00:40:29,608
And I love that we kept
the two doors
899
00:40:29,608 --> 00:40:31,920
'cause I think that it's nice
for the person in this bedroom
900
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,509
to also have kind of
their own master bathroom, too.
901
00:40:34,509 --> 00:40:37,270
Yeah, no, that's something you
don't see every day, for sure.
902
00:40:37,270 --> 00:40:39,687
And this bedroom in here. Wow.
903
00:40:39,687 --> 00:40:40,929
♪
904
00:40:40,929 --> 00:40:42,413
I remember this was
a decent-sized bedroom,
905
00:40:42,413 --> 00:40:44,726
but it was a bit small
for a master.
906
00:40:44,726 --> 00:40:46,935
I think that was the window that
was all painted shut...
907
00:40:46,935 --> 00:40:49,593
- Right?
- ...and it was so bad.
908
00:40:49,593 --> 00:40:51,595
Now you have a gorgeous view
of the street.
909
00:40:51,595 --> 00:40:53,217
This looks fantastic.
910
00:40:53,217 --> 00:40:56,151
Good size, everything else--
painted, fresh, new windows.
911
00:40:56,151 --> 00:40:57,290
I do love the windows.
912
00:40:57,290 --> 00:40:58,533
I mean, the windows
are incredible.
913
00:40:58,533 --> 00:40:59,603
They let in
so much light.
914
00:40:59,603 --> 00:41:02,019
It's just a really
nice size bedroom.
915
00:41:02,019 --> 00:41:03,331
We definitely
rushed this one,
916
00:41:03,331 --> 00:41:05,229
but I'm glad
we got it finish correctly.
917
00:41:05,229 --> 00:41:07,162
Yeah, there's a couple things
I got to wrap up,
918
00:41:07,162 --> 00:41:08,750
little touches,
but, by and large,
919
00:41:08,750 --> 00:41:10,096
we're done,
and it looks good.
920
00:41:10,096 --> 00:41:11,995
This house is fabulous.
Let's get it listed.
921
00:41:11,995 --> 00:41:13,928
Let's get it sold.
Yeah, let's go.
922
00:41:13,928 --> 00:41:16,965
Yeah, you ready?
- Let's put it on the market.
- Yeah,
absolutely ready.
923
00:41:16,965 --> 00:41:18,277
Great.
924
00:41:18,277 --> 00:41:20,521
Finishing this house
was a crazy rush,
925
00:41:20,521 --> 00:41:23,800
but our fast work paid off.
926
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,112
Shortly after listing
the property for $450,000,
927
00:41:26,112 --> 00:41:29,081
we got a great offer
for $460,000.
928
00:41:29,081 --> 00:41:31,255
We bought this house
for $265,000,
929
00:41:31,255 --> 00:41:34,258
and we ended up spending about
66 grand on the reno.
930
00:41:34,258 --> 00:41:35,881
Our loan interest landed
at $8,000,
931
00:41:35,881 --> 00:41:38,469
and our closing costs
at around $22,000.
932
00:41:38,469 --> 00:41:42,439
All told, that's an investment
of just over $360,000,
933
00:41:42,439 --> 00:41:46,961
which means this sale price nets
us the profit of 99 grand.
934
00:41:46,961 --> 00:41:49,032
Not too bad
for a couple months' work.
935
00:41:51,137 --> 00:41:53,657
Keith.
- Oh, I'm back here.
936
00:41:53,657 --> 00:41:55,348
What are you up to now?
937
00:41:55,348 --> 00:41:57,558
I'm getting this thing
ready to reinstall.
938
00:41:57,558 --> 00:41:59,905
- Reinstall? No way. Ab--
- Yeah.
939
00:41:59,905 --> 00:42:01,631
- No way.
- Are you kid-- This is awesome.
940
00:42:01,631 --> 00:42:03,080
Look.
- It's not awesome.
941
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:04,737
You're putting it back?
- Yeah.
942
00:42:04,737 --> 00:42:06,256
No. That's ridicu--
You're joking.
943
00:42:06,256 --> 00:42:08,223
Come on. Think about it.
A party pad.
944
00:42:08,223 --> 00:42:09,500
You have your own urinal,
945
00:42:09,500 --> 00:42:11,157
We just have to mount it
a little lower than last time.
946
00:42:11,157 --> 00:42:12,365
Can you hold it?
947
00:42:12,365 --> 00:42:13,574
- No!
- [ Laughs ]
948
00:42:13,574 --> 00:42:15,092
Get rid of it.
Just leave it.
949
00:42:15,092 --> 00:42:16,956
You don't like it?
- No. Where's the dumpster?
950
00:42:16,956 --> 00:42:18,337
Oh, my God.
951
00:42:18,337 --> 00:42:20,339
I thought that was going to be
a real sales feature.
952
00:42:20,339 --> 00:42:21,512
Should I put it
on the listing?
953
00:42:21,512 --> 00:42:23,169
Yeah, that's a half bath, right?
954
00:42:23,169 --> 00:42:24,239
Bring it to your house.
955
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,310
