They present their social media followers with a series of curated options for a specific area of each house, and their channels vote to decide on a lot of the finishes of the home - paint colors, carpets, door knobs, light/lamps, kitchen layout, etc, etc.The social media houses aren't especially lucrative, as they only do about 2 per year.

It doesn't have heat or a/c but the electrical was updated 3 years ago and the owner/occupier of the property has made a few improvements including siding, paint, wood rot replacement, electrical.
