Before and After Pictures of Latest Renovation

Here are some before and after pictures of one of my latest renovation deals. 

This property is located in Charleston, SC.

This project started in the midst of COVID in March. I found this property and helped my client by negotiating the seller down $20k for all the work it needed.

Originally, this was a 2 bedroom with 1 bathroom and 1,044 sqft. If we would have left it that way, we would not have gotten the purchase price we were shooting for. We turned it into a 2 bed, 2 bath and opened up the kitchen. Another key item that isn't in these pictures, is that it had a 2 car detached garage.

Lessons Learned:

Crawlspaces can be a deal breaker. We had 3 CL-100's done on this property to fix underneath of this home. Vapor Barrier, sump pump, drainage all done after the rehab...cost a bunch of time and money.

@Kevin Zimmerly This is great Kevin, thanks for sharing. Was the 34k profit above or below your estimate at the beginning? And what was your holding time?
