Fayette Rehab – Completed Tornado House Flip

September 26, 2012 by 7 Comments

So here it is …. another installment of our Completed Rehab Series. This one is coming to you on location at 30 Fayette St in Springfield MA.

This little gem took a serious beating from the Tornado that rolled through Springfield last June.

Here is what it looked like:

30 Fayette St

 

 

Hampden Homebuyers did a complete overhaul of this home which included a new roof structure, new exterior sheathing and siding, new windows, new subfloors, new bamboo hardwood flooring, new kitchen, updated bathroom, new plumbing, new electric, new water heater, new garage door, new chimney, all new insulation and sheetrock and quite a few other things to boot.

 

Here is the finished home:

Check out the video we did of some of the progress at the house:

 

 

 

Now here is a look at the completed project. We really opened up the space similar to our Ellendale Circle rehab. We ran Bamboo hardwood floors throughout the kitchen, dining and living room areas. We used cherry cabinets with Uba Tuba granite counters and a sleek stainless steel appliance package.

August 22, 2012 by 1 Comment

Well we are putting the finishing touches on our White Birch rehab project. The last item that needs to be addressed is installing the new septic system.

 

Leicester MA House For Sale

163 White Birch

 

This property is an over-sized ranch that was in need of a complete rehab. We gutted out the majority of the interior and did all new electric, new plumbing, new heating, new roof, new windows, new siding, etc…..  We turned a functionless living room into a gorgeous master suite. The kitchen was completely renovated and several walls were removed to open up the floor plan.

Attached 2 Car Garage

The home has a big Great Room addition off the back complete with a two car garage.

We went with a Cypress Green siding complete with black shutters and white trim package.

Rear Deck

The home has a big ass deck off the great room. I call this the party deck….. it rocks!!

French Doors off Deck

We added a real nice set of French Doors leading onto the deck from the Great Room.

 

Here’s a look at the Kitchen:

New House Flip **** Greendale Renovation

June 23, 2012 by 1 Comment

Here is a look at our latest rehab project. I am calling this one our Greendale Renovation, I don’t know why but it seems like a fitting name.

 

This is a cute little starter cape that is 4 bedrooms and 1 full bath with around 1,000-1,100 square feet.

Surprisingly none of the four bedrooms had a closet, so we added closets to each of the bedrooms. We also are doing a new roof, new siding, new kitchen, new boiler, update the bathroom, redo all the flooring, fresh paint and a host of other improvements.

 

Here is the what the house looked like when we bought it.

New Rehab Project – Nash House Flip

May 31, 2012 by 4 Comments

We have a great new property that we are working on.

The Nash house is a newer colonial that needed our loving touch. The house was built in 1998 and suffered from some deferred maintenance and upkeep.

It has a great floor plan and is in need of mainly cosmetic upgrades. The home has 3 bedrooms with 1 full and 1 half bath. The living area is 1,418 sq. ft. but it also has a fully finished basement with several more rooms.

Our plans are to add all new flooring, update the kitchen with granite, tile, and stainless steel appliances, update the baths as well as paint everything. Outside we’ll freshen up the look of the house by adding some new shutters, a new door and upgrading the landscaping.

Here is a look at some photos of this house:

So this a relatively easy rehab compared to many of our other flips. Our rehab crew will be in and out of this one in short order and we’ll be putting up for sale quickly.

I’ll post the finished pics when we’re done.

Ellendale Rehab Update – House Flip

April 16, 2012 by 4 Comments

Here it is; another update from the trenches.

Our Ellendale rehab project is coming along swell. The kitchen and bathrooms are in and all the finish work is happening. The granite went in today and the finish plumbing should be happening on Wednesday. We are making the final push to get this buttoned up and on the market in short order.

We took full advantage of the huge basement in this home; finishing it off, adding another bedroom and another full bath.

 

Here is a little pictorial update for you to feast your eyes upon:

Living Room looking into Kitchen/Dining Room

New Bedroom Addition

Kitchen Island looking at Dining Area with Fireplace

Open Kitchen Dining area looking from Living Room

Kitchen with New Granite

Full Bath with Laundry

Bedroom with Hardwoods

New Basement Bedroom with Egress Window

 

We ran brand new bamboo flooring throughout the dining area, kitchen and into the living room. It looks real sweet.

So there you have it, we’ve taken this awkward 2 bedroom 1 bath ranch with lots of wasted square footage and converted it into an amazing 4 bedroom 2 full bath brick beauty!

Here it is…. another fun and insightful post by Dominic:

 

____________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Hello to everyone in our virtual world. This is Dominic Kirchner here to give you a quick update on what Hampden Homebuyers has been up too. Matt and I have been extremely busy this year buying up a bunch of houses. We are keeping the contractors working overtime so we can have a good splash in the Spring market.

We are fresh off the plane, back from Sunny San Diego. We were at a FortuneBuilders seminar. Matt and I are both coaches with this awesome organization. We were up on stage for a little while sharing some valuable advice with about 400 investors from all around the country. Here is a picture of us with Than Merrill up on stage.

Dom, Than and Matt; Fortunebuilders Seminar

We took the redeye back Sunday night at 10:45pm PST and arrived in Boston at 9:25am with a layover in-between. It looks like we brought the nice weather back with us!

We also do Coaching with select individuals like Ray Tower. If the deal looks good we will do a Joint Venture (JV) deal with people that we coach. This is a quick video of us with Ray talking about working together.

 

We filmed a few videos of our projects before leaving for California. Matt will be posting those videos in a couple days so be sure to check them out.

I do have one last video before I go. Our video guy, Tom Knight, was trying to get the wireless mic to work. He turned around to get new batteries for the mic. Check out what happened.

 

Thank you everyone for reading and watching. Please be sure to click the LIKE button on this post and the videos. We appreciate any and all feedback and welcome questions too. Have a prosperous day!

-DK-

New Fix and Flip – White Birch Leicester MA

January 31, 2012 by 1 Comment

We have started a new house flip in the beautiful town of Leicester (pronounced Lester) MA. This home is a big ass ranch that we bought as a short sale. It’s 3 bedrooms 1 bath right now, but we are going to be changing the layout a bit by adding a master suite complete with a nice new master bath.

House Flip

163 White Birch

 

The house is pretty big, I think it’s right around 2,000 square feet and it sits on 1.19 acres of land.

One of the bigger challenges with this house is that it has a large unpermitted addition built off the back that we have to fix and bring up to code. On top of that we’ll be gutting out most of the interior to open up the floor plan, doing new electric, new plumbing, new boiler, new roof, new siding, new windows, new kitchen, new baths, etc…….

Rear View White Birch

As you can see there will be no shortage of work needed to this property.

The town of Leicester is located about 50 minutes east of Springfield, which is a bit outside our normal area, however this property was brought to us by another investor that had negotiated the short sale on it and was looking for a partner to help fund the deal and assist with the rehab. So we are partners on this deal.

 

Here is the initial video walkthrough we did of the house:

 

 

So that is Dominic, myself, and our partner Ray Tower.

This is our first partnership deal but we are looking to do more with other investors in the area, so if you have a deal in MA that you need help getting funded and rehabbed just let us know.
