Flipping House Series: The Mold House Part 2

Erik Hitzelberger — Mon, 20 Jan 2014 18:13:05 +0000

After the auction of The Mold House we thought back and could have swore we heard the auctioneer say “Going once, twice, SOLD…mold included.” As you may remember why we aptly named this house we are of course dealing with the mold. Let’s check in to see how The Mold House is coming along.

This house could have also been named “The sump pump house” as well since the sump pump was turned off. It was not running because power was turned off by the bank. As mentioned before this can be common and is something investors should definitely be aware of with foreclosures. We are repairing the sump pump and removing the water.

Other repairs

Remove drywall and flooring in basement and re-drywall
Sand and refinish hardwood floors
New windows
Reglaze bathtub
New bath vanity and fixtures

We are also painting and adding new carpet

New kitchen countertops and appliances are on their way too.

Be sure to check back in a few weeks to see how The Mold House turns out.

Flipping House Series: The Junk House Part 2

Last week we introduced you to The Junk House. We got looking at more of the before pictures and decided to show you some of the exterior ones. Since this was a foreclosure it was obvious that the owner stopped caring about the outside of the house a long time ago. Let’s take a look at some of the exterior issues with The Junk House.

Front Landscaping

As you can see the shrubs are completely over grown and have lacked maintenance for some time.

Back Patio

As you can see, yes there is more “junk” here at The Junk House back patio. We will need to get this cleaned up.

Paint- Exterior

From these pictures you can see the damage and wear on the soffit overhang that will need repair and repainting.

Back Yard

The back yard is spacious and can be a nice area for a homeowner. As you can see thought there is some over grown areas around the chain link fence.
