I bought this property direct from a wholesaler for $125K after seeing it the first time listed on the MLS for $195K. We projected 6 months $95K budget for gut rehab. Due to Covid and literally every unexpected additional expense possible, we ended up with a 13 month renovation for a whopping $140K. Thankfully the real estate market got significantly more competitive and drove our ARV value approximately $50K over our original Appraisal ARV estimate 13 months earlier. We listed and were under contract the same day for $15K over asking price. We opened up this floor plan from the original floor plan into an addition with a 23 ft steel beam weighing a whopping 2,500 lbs and we converted the original Living Room and Bedroom into the Master Bedroom/Master Bath Retreat! Everything was gutted, and I mean everything down to the studs, and all mechanicals were replaced.
