Close to done on Second Flip
Putting this one on the market. Finishing last touch-ups. I will try to list for sale by owner for 2 weeks. If I don't get any offers by then, I'll list it with a friend (Agent). It worked on my first flip.
This one has taken more work than anticipated. I bought the property landlocked, sight unseen. Large log home (almost 4000 sqft) on 2 acres. It had an attached garage, and also a detached garage that I knew was not included with the property. I hoped I could negotiate with owner of the land around the property, to buy detached garage with a few acres. After a lot of negotiation, I was only able to buy the garage with the whole 56 acres.
Renovations included:
- New roof on both house and garage.
- Fixed all rotted logs, caulk and stain.
- New hardwood flooring on most of bottom floor.
- New carpet upstairs.
- New kitchen cabinet doors.
- New vanities and toilets in all bathrooms.
- Stainless Steel appliances.
- Smart Thermostats.
- Bushhog and mulch overgrown pasture.
- Paint inside and out.
- New front porch and new deck/patio on top of garage.
Hoping to sell it fast. I was able to buy the house cash. Used heloc on another investment property to renovate. And got a heloc on this house to buy the land around and garage.
