Partner Driven teamed up with BJ & Traci Medlen to purchase this home on June St for $90,000. After investing $80,568 in renovations, the property was transformed and sold for $220,000 on May 19, 2025. This flip was all about vision, commitment, and following through to the finish line.
What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
The property was a diamond in the rough with a solid location. Despite its condition, the numbers worked—and with the right renovations, we knew we could bring it to full market value.
How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
BJ & Traci sourced the opportunity direct from a motivated seller. With strong local knowledge and quick decision-making, they secured it below market value and aligned the numbers with our buy box.
How did you finance this deal?
We covered the full $90,000 purchase and the $80,568 rehab budget, allowing our partners to stay focused on managing the project instead of worrying about funding.
How did you add value to the deal?
The property needed major upgrades—both cosmetic and functional. With a detailed rehab plan and expert contractor oversight, we brought the home to life and positioned it perfectly for resale.
What was the outcome?
This one took some work, but it paid off. Purchased in October 2024 and sold in May 2025, the transformation delivered a solid return and a beautiful finished product.
Lessons learned? Challenges?
Extensive rehabs mean tight project management. BJ & Traci navigated contractor delays and inspection surprises, but stayed the course. Their resilience led to a successful and rewarding outcome.
