Morton St Finished – Flipped in a Flash Part 2

November 19, 2012 by 5 Comments

Here is the follow up to the last post I did about our Morton St house flip in Springfield.

We were about half way done with the rehab…. pretty much at the rough stage, when we found our buyer for this home.

The buyer came through a referral from a mortgage broker we do some business with. This buyer was one week away from purchasing another house when that deal fell apart….. and she needed to find a new home fast!! Dominic showed her our completed Fayette St rehab , she loved the finish work but she needed a little bit larger home because she ran an in-home daycare. He brought her over to Morton St and even though the renovation was only half way done, she could see the finished product based on the other properties we showed her and she wanted it.

Now for the fun part, she had to be in the house within 2 and a half weeks, and we were only half way done with the work….. so it was all hands on deck as our contractors worked overtime to get this one wrapped up in record time!!

Within a week our crew had most of the work done (after working night and day!) and we were scheduling home inspections and appraisals as we worked to close with our new buyer. Everything went relatively smooth and we even let our new buyer start moving in prior to closing.

Here are some pictures of the finished house flip:

Similiar to our Ellendale and Fayette St house flips, we ran the Bamboo hardwood flooring throughout the whole space including into the kitchen. This gives the floorplan a nice flow by running one continuous flooring throughout.

There was no need to stage this one or put it on the market as it was sold well before we were even finished.

In typical Hampden Homebuyers fashion; it came out looking awesome!!!

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:

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!

New Springfield Rehab- Rhinebeck Ave House Flip

May 11, 2011 by 3 Comments

We picked up another nice rehab property in Springfield.

It seems like every winter /spring we get 1-2 properties with frozen pipes and some pretty bad water damage. The good thing is these are pretty straightforward rehabs… just gut out the damaged ceilings, walls and floors, and fix the busted plumbing.

The nice thing about these types of properties is that the sellers are usually pretty motivated to get rid of them. Most sellers realize that if the house sits for too long with all that water in there then the mold is gonna start growing fast…. and as soon as that mold sets in the price goes way down!!

Rhinebeck Ave is a really nice 4 bedroom 2 full bath cape located in an awesome neighborhood in Springfield. This cape already has a 60% dormer, so we don’t even have to worry about doing a dormer addition.

The exterior is pretty good, all we really have to do is new windows, powerwash, and maybe add a new garage door.

Inside we need to gut out all the water damaged sheetrock and floors, add a new kitchen, do 2 new baths, new flooring, fix the busted pipes, new sheetrock, open up the floorplan and add some new lighting.

Heres a look at the house:

The owner had been renting the house out for years and you can see that it was pretty dated and needed some rehab even without the burst pipes.

Ours guys have been working over there for a couple weeks and it’s almost finished. I’ll post some more pics of the progress of the job as we move forward.
