awkwardly shaped.

- Okay.

to you for $200,000.

to rehab it.

main concern

is actually getting the house
compliant for future owners,

This is to code.
We can't change that.

Okay, well, let's check.

And that's going
to be expensive.
428
00:17:27,744 --> 00:17:30,195
The walk up to the stairwell
is built for somebody
429
00:17:30,299 --> 00:17:33,095
that's maybe no taller
than 5-foot-9.
430
00:17:33,198 --> 00:17:34,786
Any taller than that,
you're going to bang your head

for this price point.
434
00:17:40,792 --> 00:17:42,897
Oh, this would cut
into the hallway.
435
00:17:43,001 --> 00:17:44,244
You need 36 inches.
436
00:17:44,347 --> 00:17:47,005
This is-- looks like
it's maybe a little bit over.
437
00:17:47,109 --> 00:17:49,283
We got 1 1/4 inch
to spare.
438
00:17:49,387 --> 00:17:51,492
The hallway has to be
36 inches wide.
439
00:17:51,596 --> 00:17:54,495
So there's not even room
to move that back.
440
00:17:54,599 --> 00:17:55,669
We can move it back
an inch.
441

where expectations

right now is Keith's attitude.

Keith: The amount of time it's
taken to do all this stuff,
513

a lot of stuff hidden

in this place here?

electrical wire up here, so--

Alright.
That's true, too.
528
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,160

- If I knew
how to do electric,
529

I would be here at night
with a spotlight doing it.
530
00:22:08,956 --> 00:22:10,717
Right.
But I don't,
so find someone that can
531
00:22:10,820 --> 00:22:12,995
and give them what they need
to get it done quick.

We've already invested time
in this house,

00:28:04,173 --> 00:28:06,693
Yeah, but that sounds like we're
heading towards like a week
677
00:28:06,797 --> 00:28:09,040
of standing still
with nobody working.
678
00:28:09,144 --> 00:28:10,490
- That-- We can't have that.
- Yeah, I know.
679
00:28:10,593 --> 00:28:12,699
This is a big job.
This is a lot of mud and tape.
680
00:28:12,803 --> 00:28:14,701
That's going to take
a full week itself.
681
00:28:14,805 --> 00:28:16,047
- Yeah.
- You know?
682
00:28:16,151 --> 00:28:17,773
And that compounds, because then
all the other trades
683
00:28:17,877 --> 00:28:20,603
that we have scheduled,
you know, are out of luck.
684
00:28:20,707 --> 00:28:22,674
Believe me, I understand.
It's crazy.
685
00:28:22,778 --> 00:28:24,573
Ashlee: Without the mud
and tape, we can't do the trim,
686
00:28:24,676 --> 00:28:28,232
the doors, the flooring,
the kitchen, the everything.
687
00:28:28,335 --> 00:28:30,096
I mean, we're at a standstill.
688
00:28:30,199 --> 00:28:32,270
What's really annoying is
there's four pallets of flooring
689
00:28:32,374 --> 00:28:34,410
that's ready to be picked up
that I thought would be starting
690
00:28:34,514 --> 00:28:36,516
- to be installed soon.
- Oh, my God.
691
00:28:36,619 --> 00:28:38,725
Are you guys not worried
about the massive lien?
692
00:28:38,829 --> 00:28:41,176
- $351,000?
- Oh, for sure.
693
00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:42,764
I'm going to call
the drywall company
694
00:28:42,867 --> 00:28:44,282
and see if there's
anything I can do
695
00:28:44,386 --> 00:28:45,663
to accelerate that process, alright?
696
00:28:45,767 --> 00:28:46,906
And I'll just call everyone
and tell them

Yeah. Let me give them a ring,
see what I can do.

Yeah. Yeah.
Go visit them, please.

Or we pay the $351,000
Code Enforcement lien.

I don't know, but let's see.
I have my drywall guys inside.

So I was just explaining,
we got a house
738

that's probably about
2,000 square feet.
739
00:31:11,567 --> 00:31:12,844
What did you say?
Around 100 boards?
740
00:31:12,948 --> 00:31:14,812
Yeah, we've probably got
100 boards,

to put it together.

We spray a joint compound mix

00:37:40,508 --> 00:37:43,165
going into a closed-off kitchen
over there.
844
00:37:43,269 --> 00:37:46,168
But now it's a great layout.
I really like the use of space.
845
00:37:46,272 --> 00:37:48,067
It looks incredible.
Really flows, right?
846
00:37:48,170 --> 00:37:50,483
- Yeah.
- I saw the cabinets
coming out of the boxes,
847
00:37:50,587 --> 00:37:53,417
and it took my breath away,
but to see them in place--
848
00:37:53,521 --> 00:37:56,282
you know, I'm not even
a huge fan of gold anything.
849
00:37:56,386 --> 00:37:57,697
Oh, we know.
850
00:37:57,801 --> 00:37:59,803
But, like, the navy with this
kind of gold, it's gorgeous.
851
00:37:59,906 --> 00:38:02,184
I think he's finally turning
the corner.
852
00:38:02,288 --> 00:38:03,289
Gold looks great.
853
00:38:03,393 --> 00:38:05,015
Ashlee:
Put in this gorgeous farm sink.
854
00:38:05,118 --> 00:38:06,188
Look at that.
These are my favorites.
855
00:38:06,292 --> 00:38:07,604
Alfie knocks them
out of the park, too.
856
00:38:07,707 --> 00:38:08,639
Yeah, this was Alfie, yeah.
857
00:38:08,743 --> 00:38:10,158
Justin: Ashlee,
this stone's amazing.
858
00:38:10,261 --> 00:38:12,194
I know. Is this gorgeous?
It's quartzite.
859
00:38:12,298 --> 00:38:13,955
So it's real stone.
It looks kind of like marble,
860
00:38:14,058 --> 00:38:16,440
but it's more durable
and it's cheaper.
861
00:38:16,544 --> 00:38:17,959
- Oh, I love this.
- Wow.
862
00:38:18,062 --> 00:38:19,995
You can see worlds inside them.
It just has so many layers.
863
00:38:20,099 --> 00:38:21,134
- Yeah.
- It's really good.
864
00:38:21,238 --> 00:38:22,412
So this is like
a dine-in kitchen.
865
00:38:22,515 --> 00:38:25,138
But we also have
the dining room over here
866
00:38:25,242 --> 00:38:26,347
with plenty of space
on this side
867
00:38:26,450 --> 00:38:27,727
where the kitchen
used to be.
868
00:38:27,831 --> 00:38:29,626
Do you remember the big hole
in the ceiling right there?
869
00:38:29,729 --> 00:38:31,490
Yeah, and the plaster
was coming down.
870
00:38:31,593 --> 00:38:32,732
It was just a mess.
871
00:38:32,836 --> 00:38:34,216
There's a lot of small details
that went into,
872
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,426
like, all of the things
we did to renovate
873
00:38:36,529 --> 00:38:37,910
and make the floorplan
work better.
874
00:38:38,013 --> 00:38:40,464
And it's all connected
so you can see your guests
875
00:38:40,568 --> 00:38:41,776
when you're in
your living space.
876
00:38:41,879 --> 00:38:43,467
Yeah, it's such a huge
living space.
877
00:38:43,571 --> 00:38:45,227
You could just envision
of family, like,
878
00:38:45,331 --> 00:38:47,195
enjoying this area
and the whole kitchen.
879
00:38:47,298 --> 00:38:49,197
This outcome
looks great to me.
880
00:38:49,300 --> 00:38:51,095
Guys, should we go check out
the primary bedroom
881
00:38:51,199 --> 00:38:52,269
that's now downstairs?
882
00:38:52,373 --> 00:38:54,133
- Yes.
- Yeah, sure.
883
00:38:54,236 --> 00:38:55,548
Remember, when we first came in,
it was a pile of trash,
884
00:38:55,652 --> 00:38:57,239
tarp, and raccoon.
885
00:38:57,343 --> 00:38:59,034
Keith: Aah! There's a [bleep]
dead [bleep]
886
00:38:59,138 --> 00:39:00,760
It looked very
peaceful and relaxed.
887
00:39:00,864 --> 00:39:02,762
It was the worst!
888
00:39:02,866 --> 00:39:04,592
Look at the room now.
It's absolutely fabulous.
889
00:39:04,695 --> 00:39:05,938
Duke: Well, it was
a tiny little bedroom.
890
00:39:06,041 --> 00:39:07,629
But what happened was
we captured that space
891
00:39:07,733 --> 00:39:10,080
off of that back area
and incorporated it
892
00:39:10,183 --> 00:39:12,220
to make that the bathroom
for this bedroom here.
893
00:39:12,323 --> 00:39:14,636
And so it's got that,
it's got a nice walk-in closet,
894
00:39:14,740 --> 00:39:16,189
you know,
actually two of them.
895
00:39:16,293 --> 00:39:18,329
And this thing exploded.
It's got so much room now.
896
00:39:18,433 --> 00:39:20,711
Yeah, it's amazing.
Check out the bathroom.
897
00:39:20,815 --> 00:39:22,886
- Yeah.
- Ooh! I love that tile choice.
898
00:39:22,989 --> 00:39:24,853
It's so light and bright
in here. Yeah.
899
00:39:24,957 --> 00:39:26,614
- Yeah.
- Yeah, with the new skylight
900
00:39:26,717 --> 00:39:27,753
Duke: The skylight's
a big deal.
901
00:39:27,856 --> 00:39:29,306
The natural light
that it lets in here
902
00:39:29,410 --> 00:39:31,170
makes the place
just dance in the daytime.
903
00:39:31,273 --> 00:39:32,482
Ashlee: Looking good.
904
00:39:32,585 --> 00:39:36,002
This whole bedroom suite
is a giant transformation.
905
00:39:36,106 --> 00:39:37,694
Let's go check out upstairs.
906
00:39:37,797 --> 00:39:39,143
- Yeah.
- Yeah, let's go.
907
00:39:39,247 --> 00:39:40,766
This place definitely
wasn't safe enough
908
00:39:40,869 --> 00:39:42,146
for all of us to walk up
at the same time
909
00:39:42,250 --> 00:39:43,216
a couple months ago.
910
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,011
- Oh, my God. That is for sure.
- No.
911
00:39:45,115 --> 00:39:46,185
Keith:
It is super sketchy.
912
00:39:46,288 --> 00:39:47,738
Do you remember
this bathroom before?
913
00:39:47,842 --> 00:39:49,844
It was just a mess.
914
00:39:49,947 --> 00:39:51,052
This came out great.
915
00:39:51,155 --> 00:39:52,329
- Yeah.
- Look at the vanity.
916
00:39:52,433 --> 00:39:53,917
Ties in with the colors
on the wall.
917
00:39:54,020 --> 00:39:56,471
It's just-- the whole thing
came together really well.
918
00:39:56,575 --> 00:39:58,266
Justin: Let's go see
all those bedrooms.
919
00:39:58,369 --> 00:40:00,164
Keith, do you remember
this part was, like,
920
00:40:00,268 --> 00:40:01,614
- completely falling down?
- Keith: Yeah.
921
00:40:01,718 --> 00:40:03,374
Ashlee:
Anyone could have killed
themselves in this room.
922
00:40:03,478 --> 00:40:06,032
This was a gaping hole.
The floor was a hole.
923
00:40:06,136 --> 00:40:07,965
There was a doorway there
going to nowhere.
924
00:40:08,069 --> 00:40:09,829
It was just so dangerous.
925
00:40:09,933 --> 00:40:11,417
And now it's crazy.
926
00:40:11,521 --> 00:40:13,454
These spare bedrooms
look great.
927
00:40:13,557 --> 00:40:14,420
Plenty of space.
928
00:40:14,524 --> 00:40:17,596
And we got the barn door.
929
00:40:17,699 --> 00:40:19,529
But it's actually practical
in a space like that,
930
00:40:19,632 --> 00:40:20,978
because if you put
a swung door,
931
00:40:21,082 --> 00:40:22,497
it would either take up
all the closet
932
00:40:22,601 --> 00:40:24,948
or block half
of your bedroom passage, so...
933
00:40:25,051 --> 00:40:26,467
And not only looks great,
934
00:40:26,570 --> 00:40:28,227
but it's got a functional
aspect as well.
935
00:40:28,330 --> 00:40:29,435
- Absolutely, yeah.
- Yeah.
936
00:40:29,539 --> 00:40:31,644
What about these interior doors?
Solid core.
937
00:40:31,748 --> 00:40:33,335
They're gorgeous,
from Timberland.
938
00:40:33,439 --> 00:40:34,889
Duke:
Oh, they're super nice.
939
00:40:34,992 --> 00:40:37,650
I want to see what the stagers
- did to the secret nook.
- Yeah.
940
00:40:37,754 --> 00:40:39,963
Remember this was, like, that
dank little room in the attic?
941
00:40:40,066 --> 00:40:42,344
Like, one misstep
and you were going down.
942
00:40:42,448 --> 00:40:45,762
Justin: Dude, I love this nook.
The hidden room, man.
943
00:40:45,865 --> 00:40:49,041
And honestly, the stagers
kind of nailed this one.
944
00:40:49,144 --> 00:40:52,423
Like, this house was
nothing but drama,
945
00:40:52,527 --> 00:40:53,908
and now that it's done,
946
00:40:54,011 --> 00:40:55,806
let's go get
some boutique beers,
947
00:40:55,910 --> 00:40:59,085
'cause that's what
we need right there.
948
00:40:59,189 --> 00:41:01,743
- Definitely read it.
- First sell,
then celebrate, okay?
949
00:41:01,847 --> 00:41:05,367
- Yeah, okay.
- We conquered.
950
00:41:05,471 --> 00:41:07,577
Keith: Triumphed over
that zombie, right?
951
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,268
Guys, the most incredible part
about this--
952
00:41:09,371 --> 00:41:12,651
we beat the deadline
for the Code Enforcement lien
953
00:41:12,754 --> 00:41:14,653
with like minutes to spare, practically.
954
00:41:14,756 --> 00:41:16,171
That's nuts.
955
00:41:16,275 --> 00:41:17,828
Yeah, that was a stress I've
never had to deal with before.
956
00:41:17,932 --> 00:41:19,381
I'm just so happy
it's over.
957
00:41:19,485 --> 00:41:20,348
- Yes.
- Yep.
958
00:41:20,451 --> 00:41:21,418
This place was
such an eyesore.
959
00:41:21,522 --> 00:41:23,040
And now we've done
such an amazing job.
960
00:41:23,144 --> 00:41:24,455
I'm super excited
to get it on the market.
961
00:41:24,559 --> 00:41:26,250
I can't wait to see
if the market loves it
962
00:41:26,354 --> 00:41:29,081
- as much as we do.
- Let's do it.
963
00:41:29,184 --> 00:41:31,117
This was the riskiest job
we've ever done,
964
00:41:31,221 --> 00:41:33,050
and I would not make
this deal ever again.
965
00:41:34,051 --> 00:41:35,294
But things ended up working out.
966
00:41:35,397 --> 00:41:37,296
We listed this property
for $500,000
967
00:41:37,399 --> 00:41:39,401
and soon got an offer
for $515,000.
968
00:41:39,505 --> 00:41:40,955
The purchase price
was 200 grand,
969
00:41:41,058 --> 00:41:43,923
and our reno costs
reached $203,000.
970
00:41:44,027 --> 00:41:46,857
We had no loan interest thanks
to Duke putting up the money,
971
00:41:46,961 --> 00:41:49,480
and the closing costs
hit just over 28 grand.
972
00:41:49,584 --> 00:41:53,381
That makes an all-in cost
of over $431,000.
973
00:41:53,484 --> 00:41:56,660
So this sale price creates
a profit of more than 83 grand,
974
00:41:56,764 --> 00:41:59,387
three quarters of which
goes to the Zombie team.
975
00:41:59,490 --> 00:42:00,871
It's money in the bank,
which I thought
976
00:42:00,975 --> 00:42:03,253
might not be a possible outcome
on this house.
977
00:42:05,117 --> 00:42:06,532
Duke: I got something else I
want to talk to you guys about.
978
00:42:06,636 --> 00:42:09,224
- Yeah.
- I have something else
waiting in the wings.
979
00:42:09,328 --> 00:42:10,640
I've got another house.
980
00:42:10,743 --> 00:42:12,642
I mean, if you thought
this place was bad,
981
00:42:12,745 --> 00:42:14,505
this place is really
going to take the cake.
982
00:42:14,609 --> 00:42:15,921
- [ Laughs ]
- What do you talking about?!
983
00:42:16,024 --> 00:42:17,232
You guys have proven yourself
on this one.
984
00:42:17,336 --> 00:42:19,234
I think you can make something
out of this other house.
985
00:42:19,338 --> 00:42:21,512
- No, dude, we proved ourselves?
- Yeah!
986
00:42:21,616 --> 00:42:24,308
All this proves is we should not
listen to Duke anymore.
987
00:42:24,412 --> 00:42:25,413
- Yeah!
- Right?
988
00:42:25,516 --> 00:42:26,690
This house
almost did me in.
989
00:42:26,794 --> 00:42:28,865
I do not want to do
another house like this.
990
00:42:28,968 --> 00:42:30,521
- You guys did a great job.
- Thanks, but no thanks.
991
00:42:30,625 --> 00:42:32,731
Keith: Yeah. Take your toy truck
and get out of here.
992
00:42:32,834 --> 00:42:34,525
Bye, guys.
993
00:42:34,629 --> 00:42:36,631
♪
