FINAL REVEAL of the $20 Flip House!

[@HairyTornado]

Thanks for watching! Addressing your concerns…Yes, we will add blinds (that’s a perfect use for the extra cash in the budget). I probably won’t do all the backslash but we may add something behind the stove to protect the drywall. We do not have a mortgage on the property as we paid cash. I also understand that things CAN go wrong with renting, but the possible upside and cash flow we would make from renting is worth the risk. All potential tenants will go through a rigorous background, credit and reference check to ensure they are a good match for our home. I’m well aware of the horror stories of nightmare tenants, but I’m also aware they are plenty of great humans out there that just need a comfortable and affordable place to live. South Carolina (where we live and where the house is located) is also very landlord friendly, so if it ever came down to it, eviction is extremely quick and easy. Selling the house would only net us about $40k but renting would net us about $16k per year after property management fees and taxes (conservatively). Even if we rented it for one year and the first tenant did $16k in damages (extremely unlikely) we would still have another year of appreciation on the home if we chose to sell at that time. I’ve done the math, talked to the professionals and renting just makes sense. Yes, there’s risk…but good things require a decent amount of risk. Imagine if we rented it for 10 years to a great tenant and had zero issues? That would be $160,000 in rental income (assuming we never increased the rent) and the house would likely double in value by then (if not more). Anyway, thanks for all the comments and concerns! We are glad to be done with it 😂

I remember when wifey didn't like the flipping game? Do you get to say I told you so often? If not, here's an opportunity. :P Haven't been flipping for a year after moving but thought of you guys when I recently sold a few items.

Beautiful! Congratulations on finishing the house! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@chrisg2417]

Might consider adding a shower door instead of a shower curtain. The concern I always have is if the renter is aware of not getting the curtain closed all the way and potentially causing water damage.

[@zeldaveeblefetzer3475]

As a property manager, I would highly recommend you install window blinds if you're going to rent the house. It will prevent new tenants from hanging blankets or sheets in the windows (ugly eyesores!) and adding unwanted holes. It also helps to not have the tenants do it and really mess it up if they don't know how to hang them. Nice job on the whole place.

[@rachelh5211]

Agreed. I was going to suggest some bamboo blinds, to add warmth to the look, but I'm wondering if that's a mistake for a rental, due to the fact they would harbor odors. They also can be rather see-through at night unless you get lined ones. For a rental, I guess the vinyl blinds might be best, but they could always get some wood-tone vinyl ones to add warmth to the space - both esthetically and literally.

[@HairyTornado]

Yes, I think that’s what we will use the extra money in the budget for.

[@Ingrid.Taylor]

@@HairyTornadoI too own a rental property, in Charlotte, and blinds are a MUST!

[@SassySue67]

I was going to say the same thing. Tenants don’t care how many holes they make.

[@amandascott7640]

Congratulations your house looks great. Must be such a wonderful feeling to reach the end. Take care.

[@ProbateandTrustHelp]

Pro tip...with your $600 surplus, you could purchase and install 2" window blinds for your future tenants. You could also install some floating shelves in the kitchen above the cabinets adjacent to the refrigerator. And, I recommend putting screen material in the ventilation for under the house off the carport before critters move in. Great job on the upgrades/repairs! Now get that house rented and a performing asset for you both.

I purchased a similar house after a divorce 20 years ago. Single mom with no help. I had to figure it all out with a couple of books and limited internet. Congrats!

[@kandmresell]

I learned a landlord trick from my real estate professor in college who owns over 50 rentals. He said whenever you’re showing the rental to a potential renter, discreetly look at the inside of their car. If they keep their car clean and tidy, they’re probably also going to keep the house clean, tidy, and in good shape as well! Just thought I’d give you that tip. And to all the opinions about renting the house out. Renting a house is much different in your situation (owning it in cash) both financially and mentally, compared to the property being leveraged. Y’all keep doing you cause whatever you’re doing is working!

[@trashpanda77]

Sadly this doesn’t apply to me. My house is immaculate but my car is a mess lol

[@BeyondBeautyFinds]

I’m a renter but PREVIOUSLY OWNED MU OWN HOUSE. I LITERALLY PAINTED THE ENTIRE HOUSE WHEN I MOVED IN!!! I did the landscape around it myself to make it look NICE! THEY ARE SOME GOOD PEOPLE OUT THERE. NICE JOB❤. GOOD LUCK.

[@cherwilkes4564]

WOW I don't even need to see a before and after photo to know how much work went into that! I'm SO VERY IMPRESSED! Haley is so cute and so proud!!!!!!

[@juliechapman-xu4if]

Great job. The carport glue mess needs to be addressed. Thanks for update.

[@jananneshipley3687]

Hayley shaking her head, NO, not another house. lol Glad to see you got it finished and it looks amazing. Those hardwood floors are amazing. Love the color you chose for them. Oh, in case you ever do another house and have to cut into the wall for the plumbing, it's a good idea to put an access panel for that plumbing in case of any future issues. Just makes things easier. The DIY projects you did yourself saved you so much money and everything turned out great. Love the color of the cabinets. Thanks for showing us the finished project. I hope you have great luck in finding good tenants. Having someone else manage it for you is an excellent idea.

[@barbkellen6658]

Great job! I would also put a back splash in behind the stove to protect the wall.

[@Susan-zk7ne]

Nice job!! The kitchen is absolutely fantastic. I pray the Lord will send you a renter who will value all your work and take care of it. And stay a long time.

[@mulnrouge]

Awesome job!! You should DEFINITELY STILL ADD TO THE HOUSE BUDGET THOUGH! Don’t stop because there’s going to be maintenance before you know it when you get people in there and at way you have some ready that is strictly for the house and can still be a part of the original fund so you don’t have to dip into other funds as much. As well as it going towards taxes for it. Wicked awesome to show people that we CAN do something starting with very little! 👏 ❤

[@breannahelsel7192]

It’s me lilflowerbre from whatnot! I just wanted to say, completing a flip house after 18 months is an incredible achievement, and I couldn't be more proud of you guys! Your hard work, dedication, and vision have truly paid off. You've transformed a space that was once just a project into a beautiful, livable home. It takes immense patience and skill to see a project like this through to the end, and you've done it with such grace and determination. I admire your perseverance and talent, and I hope you're as proud of yourself as I am of you. This is a huge milestone, and you should feel incredibly accomplished!

[@sophiealeah6529]

You guys killed this flip!! Reading the comments, I would agree on the backsplash and blinds! Awesome job!🎉

[@B.L.Creations]

I love the cabinets and the color . The floor choice was the right one . As far as the cabinet next to the stove . You can put stationary shelves in it and make it so it doesn’t open . You can get to it with next door . But still have the shelves . I have mine that way and it works out much better .

[@marilynh4487]

Please make sure to vet renters very carefully! I had a rental home where they stopped paying and I could not get them out! I lost over $20K and they trashed the house when they were evicted. I wasn’t allowed to turn off water or electricity either. They had children so they knew a landlord would not be able to do anything. This was also a flip house that my husband worked so hard on. We got a court judgement and never collected a penny. There are people out there that know just how to work the system.

[@HairyTornado]

We have very intensive set of guidelines for a tenant. I don’t mind sitting on it for a few more months until we find a good fit

[@RobGreco71]

Great job. My only comment would be that if I was a buyer the backyard and dogs next door would be an issue. A better (solid) fence and some $$ thrown at spiffing up the patio would make an amazing difference (at least to me, but I'm not a potential buyer lol).

[@Lunafalls]

Absolutely need to block the dogs' view with some fence fabric or a wooden fence on that side. Any prospective tenants who hope to enjoy their backyard will run the other way.

[@starrlalares5621]

Exactly. I wouldn't rent it with those barkers

[@Dit1160]

I sold my house because of barking dogs…the constant noise is mind destroying to some of us.

[@kat-napzzz]

House looks great!! I know a backsplash is work but could keep you from costly damage. When I moved into my new house, my new faucet ended up leaking and our new stove ended up being faulty too after some use, so we were thankful for a backsplash! I think just white subway tile would look great and it’s very affordable.

[@starrlalares5621]

Beautiful house!! I know that there are a lot of comments here about renters destroying property but as a lifelong renter, I have always taken good care of the homes I have rented and have always gotten my full security deposit back.... but I personally wouldn't rent the flip house because I could never enjoy the backyard with those two little dogs non-stop barking..

[@Tina-ez5pg]

If you speak to them kindly when you sit outside they will settle down pretty fast.

[@MountainTopHigh]

It looks awesome!! I agree with your comment about how there’s always going to be projects to be done. However I think the kitchen door should be replaced for safety. The window is so low it would be easy to break glass & unlock the deadbolt. Putting in something that’s a bit sturdier would be pretty important.

What is a jack legs? lol The only thing missing is back splash in the kitchen. The cooking and water exposure can damage the paint and drywall. Not cheap tho. but, a blue & green back splash that matches the green cabinets would make that kitchen pop! I am so incredibly impressed at what you have done! Are there no gutters? Amazing reno cost!

[@Frank-x1g]

Agree. A backsplash with some color will go a long way.

[@starrlalares5621]

Yeah that's a great idea!! It's not possible to cook without a splash of oil or water here or there.

[@katroyal6309]

Maybe use the 650 left for blinds or landscaping to add value? I would also highly suggest putting a washer/dryer in- it will prevent tenants from hanging wet laundry everywhere and it will add to the rental value- a house with laundry facilities will rent for more.
