Tornado House Update – Springfield House Flip

We’ve been banging away at the new tornado damaged house in Springfield.

Our guys were there all last week getting the demo done and prepping for the new roof to go on. We’ve got to completely rebuild the roof and we will be adding some new soffits and overhangs to the roofline.

Inside all the damaged sheetrock has been removed and we also pulled up all the damaged hardwoods.

We’ll be rearranging the floorplan a bit by removing the wall between the living room and kitchen/dining room area. We are also going to alter the current kitchen layout to make some more space and make the flow more functional.

Here’s some pics of the demo work:

As we started taking up the hardwoods we found a lot of the subfloor underneath was bad, so we are going to be  replacing some large sections of subfloor also.

Well that’s all the updates for now. I’ll post some new pics as we get more exterior work done.

House Flip Story – New Springfield Tornado Damaged House

We’ve bought another Tornado damaged house in Springfield. This one is a nice little ranch that took a beating from the tornadoes heavy winds.

The storm ripped the front of the roof clean off and knocked out some windows as well as ripping off some siding.

The roof was tarped but it was still leaking pretty bad so there is a good amount of water damage to the living room and two bedrooms.

We plan to gut out the kitchen and all the water damaged sheetrock and floors. On the exterior we’ll reframe and resupport all the walls and the new roof, install new windows, and do new siding.

The sellers of this house actually found us right here on our blog. They did a google search for “selling springfield tornado house” and my previous post about our other tornado house came up. Pretty Cool!

 

Here’s a look at the house:

Buying and Selling – Springfield Tornado Damaged House

So, about a month back I wrote about the tornado damaged house in Springfield we are buying. This is a 4 bedroom 1 bath cape house located in a great Springfield neighborhood off Island Pond Rd.

The home sustained significant tornado damage…. mainly the huge oak tree in the backyard came crashing down on the right side of the house, going right through the roof and damaging the second and first floors of the house. The left side of the home where the kitchen and living room are remained untouched.

This particular neighborhood really took a direct hit from the tornado, with several of the neighboring properties having to be torn down. The good thing is everyone is rebuilding now. The houses that were torn down now have new foundations in the ground and brand new construction is being put up.

We are still actively looking to buy tornado damaged houses in Springfield, Wilbraham, West Springfield and surrounding towns.

Here are some pictures of the Springfield tornado damaged home we bought:

There’s a look at the latest tornado damaged house that we bought in Springfield…. ain’t she a beauty!!

Our original plan was to rehab the house by adding a full dormer off the back side of the roof, add a full bath and sell it. Then we decided to do a lighter rehab, keep it four bedrooms and rent it to college students from the nearby Western New England College or Springfield college.

We wanted to rent it to give some time for the neighborhood to get all fixed up before we turned around and retailed it.

Now our plans may have changed again….. we’ll see……
