Investment Info:

Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

Purchase price: $90,000
Cash invested: $90,000
Sale price: $349,900

Beautiful Queen Anne circa 1899 purchased in Knoxville. Over 3,000 sqft that originally had an awkward mother in law apartment and crow's nest above. We converted the upstair kitchen into a master en suite and walk in closet, making the house 4 bedroom and 3 baths. The reno took approximately 4 months and was extensive but it turned out great. We broke a price barrier in this neighborhood and several houses have subsequently come on the market close to our price point after we sold this house.
