Agawam Rehab Complete – Cleveland St House Flip Update

July 26, 2011 by 14 Comments

Our 83 Cleveland St project is complete.

The last step was getting the pool open. We had  a pool company come out and assess it. Since the water in the pool had become a bit stagnant, they decided to drain the pool and refill it.

This was actually a pretty long process. We refilled it using a garden hose and it took over two days straight of the water running day and night……  can’t wait to see our water bill!!!

Here’s how it looked:

So anyways, the pool is filled now and the house has been cleaned and staged.

Of course it came out looking awesome, as usual!!

Agawam Rehab Update and Motivational Arnold Video

July 19, 2011 by Leave a Comment

So I guess I was a little overly optimistic thinking we were going to get 83 Cleveland St in Agawam on the market last week. It took our hardwood guy a little longer to finish up the floors…. but they came out looking great so it was worth the wait.

This home also has a pool that we were able to keep, our first one after filling in 4 last year. The pool company has been at the house getting the pool opened. We ended up having to drain it and refill it because the pool cover came off over the winter/spring and the water got too nasty to just dump some chemicals in there and clean it out.

Here are some pics of it almost done:

That looks nice!

This great home is now done. It will be cleaned tomorrow and staged over the next two days…… then it will go on the market!!

.

Now time for a little motivational video I recently came across.

This is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Six Rules for success from the USC graduation a few years back . Watch and be inspired. Oh yeah, they’re pretty funny too:

 

We all know Arnold is in a little trouble now due to his extra marital affairs….. but you gotta give him credit for what he has accomplished since coming to America with nothing.

Another House with Burst Pipes!! – Agawam Rehab

May 31, 2011 by 6 Comments

Here’s another house that we picked up from the bank with some burst pipes, just like our 84 Rhinebeck Ave house.

It seems like every spring we score a couple of these rehabs.

You all know the story… owner moves out in Fall/Early winter…. bank doesn’t get in there to winterize the pipes…. come springtime once things thaw out a little you have water running down the ceilings and walls. If the house sits for a little while you start to get mold everywhere.

Fortunately we got to this house before the water damage was too bad and any mold could set in.

Our Agawam house is a two story colonial and all the damage happened to the first floor.

We are gonna be replacing all the water damaged walls and ceilings on the first floor. Redoing all the hardwood flooring that was damaged. We will be adding a new kitchen, redoing the half bath and a whole bunch of other nice upgrades and improvements.

The exterior of this house is in great condition, the roof is newer, the windows are new, and the siding is new…. so we barely have any work to do outside.

Here are some pics of this beauty:

Pool

We got another pool with this house. We’ve filled in a number of these over the years because they were too far gone to salvage…. however this one was just installed in 2008 and seems to be in real good shape…. so I think we are finally gonna be able to save a pool here.

Another Look at some of that Damage

The bank was really motivated to move this quickly before any further damage was done by the water and before some serious mold set in. We used this to our advantage, offering a very fast closing timeline, and this helped us to get the deal done.

For those of you who live down south where it is always warm, I feel bad that you will never be able to experience the joys of frozen pipes…. and the rush that comes with making a deal on these types of homes!!! 🙂
