Investment Info:

Single-family residence fix & flip investment in Kansas City.

Purchase price: $85,000
Cash invested: $100,000

This victorian style home located in a prime area of Kansas City needed complete remodeling. We tore down walls, pulled up flooring, installed new windows, demo'd the kitchen and bath and installed new custom built cabinetry as well as painted every room in the house. It went from super ugly to super beautiful!
