00:07Hey Pops, I need you to inspect this house.
00:10This might be a good deal, but there's some things in this house that scare me.
00:15Alright, I'll see you in a minute. Bye.
00:22My name's Tommy Har.
00:23I started out inspecting homes and now I'm the biggest zombie house flipper in Columbus, Ohio.
00:27What's my secret? I keep it in the family.
00:30That's not good. You need a roof right off the back.
00:32My dad Chris and brother Jake handle inspections.
00:35I'm already bleeding.
00:36My youngest brother Will is training to be my project manager.
00:39And my mom Katie is our designer and real estate agent.
00:43I just love these little touches.
00:44Oh, it's coming.
00:47We're the Har's and turning zombie houses into dream homes is how we make a killing.
01:00Hey, Tom.
01:02What's up, fellas?
01:02What up, what up?
01:04So, if you can look past the trees and all the overgrowth, there's actually a house behind there that's a
01:08massive opportunity.
01:09If I can lock this thing up for $65,000.
01:12Wow.
01:13And the ARV in this house, what it's gonna be worth?
01:14About $280,000.
01:16Doesn't look that bad.
01:17No.
01:17It's like a six-figure profit.
01:19Unbelievable deal.
01:20It's a great deal.
01:20You used to get houses in Columbus for $65,000 five, ten years ago.
01:24Now it's unheard of.
01:25There's gotta be some serious catch with $65,000.
01:27There always is, right?
01:28So, I need you guys' help to figure out what the catch is.
01:31So, what do you guys think?
01:33Let's get into it.
01:33Let's take a look at it.
01:34Let's rock and roll.
01:40My brothers and my dad, they inspect all of my houses for me.
01:43So, we'll go on site and we'll learn exactly in real time what's going on with that house.
01:48Let's see what she looks like.
01:49Let's go for it.
01:50Ew.
01:51Very stinky.
01:53Ooh.
01:55Got a decent little stench to it.
01:56Yeah, smells for sure.
01:58Smells.
01:58Smells like money.
02:00This house is set empty for at least a decade.
02:02That's a lot of time for problems to develop.
02:04It's about a thousand square foot, three bed, one bath.
02:06No garage, so it's pretty much just everything we're seeing here.
02:08I mean, it feels solid.
02:09Let's check out the kitchen.
02:11Let's see if you can put your nose to it.
02:12Ooh, I'll put my nose to it.
02:13I can do that.
02:16It's a tight kitchen.
02:17Let's check out, like, the plumbing and the electric.
02:19Can't really see much of the plumbing underneath there.
02:21So much garbage.
02:22I'm seeing ABS, drains, PVC.
02:27I've got an outlet tester.
02:28Let me take a quick look here.
02:29So, we have grounded power.
02:32We just need to replace the outlets around water.
02:34Sounds like the fridge is on.
02:35Oh, man.
02:36It's not that bad.
02:38Is there some tasty goodness in there?
02:39Ooh, he's got some chocolate for my fat brother.
02:41Ooh.
02:42Ooh, there you go, buddy.
02:43I'll probably take that.
02:44There you will.
02:45You seriously gonna eat that, man?
02:47Oh, no.
02:47Ooh, that's kinda nasty.
02:49That's pretty gross, bro.
02:50Ooh, big bite.
02:51Why would you do that?
02:52It was sealed.
02:55Doesn't pull any punches when it comes to food, that's for sure.
02:57And it's gotta eat, brother.
02:59All right, Jake just got the disease of the day.
03:01All right, let's check out the rest of this house.
03:04Bathroom.
03:04So a decent-sized bathroom.
03:07I mean, no backups.
03:08Just needs a little bit of love.
03:09Like me?
03:10That sounds about right.
03:11Let's check out the bedrooms.
03:13Oh, my God, dude.
03:14Oh, man.
03:15There's some debris in here, huh?
03:17The house is filled with personal property,
03:19but with a half day of clean out,
03:21this place will look brand new.
03:24Carpets beat like they had animals in here.
03:26Yeah, I mean, it looks like carpet, paint, switches, and outlets.
03:30Bar in the basement, this is it.
03:32Yeah, it's awesome.
03:33Great deal.
03:36Walking into this house, it's pretty much a cakewalk.
03:38I mean, we do these types of rehabs every day.
03:41Let's check it out, guys.
03:48Oh, my God.
03:50Look at this foundation.
03:51This massive crack in the front.
03:54There's your $65,000 right there, boys.
03:56That's insane.
03:58Oh, my Lord.
04:01It's hydrostatic pressure, man.
04:03You're getting water pressure on the outside,
04:05and it's pushing the walls in.
04:06This is a budget blower.
04:08These walls are absolutely destroyed.
04:10I've honestly never seen anything like it in my life.
04:13I mean, look at this wall, dude.
04:14It's like literally falling in.
04:16Massive.
04:17This is what the house rests on, dude.
04:18No, I mean, this foundation is shot.
04:22The walls are just moving outwards.
04:24I don't know how much further it could go before the house collapses.
04:26Oh, yeah, this wall's out, too.
04:28Well, I mean, are there any of these walls that we can just beam?
04:32Well, it's a foundation.
04:32You got to come over and look at it.
04:33I mean, maybe it can be beamed, but I don't think so.
04:37These walls are absolutely destroyed, and most people run from this stuff.
04:41This room is pretty gross.
04:44That's insane.
04:45Ooh.
04:45Is that cat poop?
04:46Yeah.
04:47Lots.
04:47Oh, this is your worst?
04:48Yeah, this is the worst wall.
04:50Oh, my God.
04:50Wow.
04:51Yeah.
04:51That's insane.
04:52I can, like, almost get my forearm in there, and I've got huge forearms.
04:56That's crazy.
04:58Holy .
04:59This is pretty damn bad back here, too.
05:02You got movement.
05:04Let's check out this back wall.
05:05These cobwebs are crazy.
05:06Yeah, we're not good about to get through here, boys.
05:08Yeah, that's not bad, too, dude.
05:09So we're four for four?
05:11Four for four.
05:12While we're at it, you have a nationally recalled Federal Pacific panel.
05:17This can start a house fire.
05:18So you definitely, definitely, definitely want to replace this.
05:21You're spending money down here, bud.
05:22Yeah.
05:23Big time money.
05:24Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to lie.
05:25This definitely scares me, but the numbers are going to tell me to do it or not to do it
05:29at the end of the day.
05:30Well, Pops, what do you think?
05:31Man, Tom, this is, I've been doing this for 25 years, and this is some of the worst foundations
05:36work I've ever seen, dude.
05:37I don't really, in good conscience, think you should buy this house.
05:41Yeah, when my dad tells me it's the worst he's ever seen, I mean, I don't take that lightly.
05:45I mean, it really just doesn't take a home inspector to come down here and look at these
05:48walls and run.
05:49You're right.
05:49For the first time in your life, Jake.
05:50Thank you, Tom.
05:51They told me that in the beginning of my real estate journey.
05:53They said, be careful, maybe not do it, and it's worked.
05:56You know, growing up, I never liked to listen to your advice anyway.
05:59That's a fact.
06:00Let's try and maybe put some math to it, right?
06:01We buy it for $65.
06:03We can keep our costs under $200,000.
06:04It comps out at $280,000.
06:06And we got an $80,000 pure spread on this thing.
06:09I mean, I think I'd take that all day.
06:10You know, the risk is worth the reward.
06:11Way easier said than done.
06:13Yeah.
06:15Will's my project manager.
06:16He looks scared.
06:16He should be scared.
06:17It's going to be a challenge for him, and it's going to be a challenge for me.
06:20I'm scared as hell, but I'm not calling it a no.
06:22This is just vintage Tom, really.
06:24Just trying to go above and beyond every other investor in Columbus.
06:27Yeah, I think he's crazy.
06:28Hey, if you're the numbers, man, if they make sense, then...
06:30I mean, it's high risk, but it's high risk, high reward.
06:32This is why I do what I do.
06:33There's two things that are going to make it worth it.
06:35Number one is my family telling me that I might be a little bit crazy.
06:38And number two, there's a great profit margin at the end of the day.
06:41And I like both of those things, proving people wrong and making money.
06:48Hello, Thomas.
06:49What's going on?
06:50You got a live one?
06:51I think I do.
06:52Ooh.
06:52Where, where, where?
06:53Down Galloway.
06:54Oh my gosh.
06:55My old stomping grounds.
06:57Galloway.
06:57This is where a lot of first time home buyers are looking, because it's still affordable.
07:02And it's only 20 minutes outside of Columbus, but it's still pretty country.
07:06So for all those people who want to get out of the city, but still stay close enough,
07:10it works.
07:12Hey, mom.
07:13What's going on?
07:14What's up?
07:15You look nice.
07:16Well, thanks.
07:17How are you guys?
07:18You're really pinked out, huh?
07:19Very cute, mom.
07:20Very cute.
07:21I need to get my mom on board if we're going to sell this house for top dollar.
07:24So a little bit of flattery will go a long way.
07:27All right, mama.
07:29Ooh.
07:30It's small.
07:31It's small, but mighty.
07:32It's got a lot of potential.
07:33I need to sell this house for about $280,000.
07:36Oh, gosh.
07:37Swear.
07:38I don't think it calms out.
07:40I think it does.
07:41But we've got to really give this thing a lot of charm and value.
07:45All right, so let's go into this kitchen.
07:47Wow.
07:47This is a time capsule.
07:49Holy moly.
07:51Hello.
07:52I could talk to my, like, 1985 boyfriend.
07:55Wow.
07:56Look, it's got the extra long cord.
07:58Because you would take it and you'd be able to go through your whole kitchen and talk on the phone
08:01with it.
08:02I don't think this house has ever been renovated.
08:06I think everything's original in there.
08:08This is obviously your primary, though, because it has the largest closet.
08:10Okay.
08:11You can't add size.
08:12I think that your ARV...
08:14We're going to work with the basement.
08:15No, we're not.
08:16We're going to have to.
08:16No, we're not.
08:17You know what, Tom?
08:18Okay.
08:18You're going to have to create something.
08:19Well, let's go check out the basement.
08:20I'll tell you what the...
08:21Is it finished with the bedroom and the bathroom?
08:23Okay.
08:25Here you go.
08:26All right.
08:27Whoa.
08:28Tommy.
08:29Tommy.
08:32Oh, it is dark and dank and it smells like mold and I...
08:40You don't see the vision?
08:41You're high.
08:42I'm not high.
08:43Yeah, you are.
08:43That's crazy.
08:44That's impossible.
08:45It's not impossible.
08:45We do it every day.
08:46Yeah, no.
08:46You're just being dramatic.
08:47Wow.
08:48That wall.
08:49You need some foundation work down here, brother.
08:51Oh my goodness gracious.
08:53Tommy, are you sure you want to buy this house?
08:56I think so.
08:57We'll see at the end of the day if I made a good decision.
08:59If not, I'm not going to lie.
09:00I've made bad decisions before.
09:01I've lost money on deals like this, but nine times out of ten, it usually works out.
09:06So the design has to be good and we have to sell it for top dollar.
09:09Tommy's never taken no for an answer.
09:13I think we could push to top dollar, but there's going to be a lot of work that's going to
09:16have to be done.
09:17I'm seeing a lot of...
09:18Yeah.
09:18I just see dollar signs everywhere.
09:20What if we make it a four bed, three bath?
09:22What do you think about that?
09:23Then I think you could definitely press 300 on that then.
09:25Okay.
09:25Yeah.
09:26Definitely going to put an offer on this house.
09:27Time is money.
09:28I'm going to go make this offer.
09:29Let's make this deal happen.
09:33I've locked down this one story house for a purchase price of $65,000.
09:37We've got $30,000 to rehab the crumbling foundation and $80,000 to upgrade the rest of the house
09:42and a projected $25,000 in fees and holding costs.
09:46If we can sell it for $300,000, that's a cool $100,000 profit.
10:00First thing we have to do is clean this house out.
10:03We're good.
10:05Will usually helps me with the clean out, but he decided he wanted to take a few days off because
10:09he's a princess.
10:10Yep.
10:10So we've got Jake.
10:11Yep.
10:12All right.
10:12We've got the junk guys over here, the best in the business, ready to help us out.
10:15Let's rock.
10:16Let's get into it.
10:17Ooh.
10:18Oh, my God.
10:19Where to start?
10:20This room smells the most like pee.
10:24I am not a big clean out guy.
10:26He's not a big labor guy.
10:27He doesn't like to work.
10:28Straight to work.
10:30It's like a bunch of junk.
10:31Yeah, we're going to fill that thing up quick.
10:33Yes, we are.
10:35There's probably about 100 yards of cubic debris in this house.
10:39A lot of early 2000s memorabilia.
10:42No.
10:43Hell yeah, Jake.
10:44Las Vegas, 2004.
10:46Give me that right now.
10:47Yeah, it's going to be a nice weekend, bar.
10:50Yeah, sure.
10:52Look at the flavor town, baby.
10:54Jake, come look what I got.
11:03Jake's working hard for the first time in his entire life.
11:05I'm really starting to think he's overheating.
11:08Stop.
11:09Now the fun really starts here.
11:10Let's break the budget.
11:12Oh.
11:15Where in the world do we even start down here, dude?
11:19Grabbing and moving.
11:23We've got to be able to see the wall.
11:24We've got to see what we're working with.
11:26But as we start to pull the paneling, the walls just get worse and worse.
11:29Oh, my God, Jake.
11:33Absolutely insane.
11:34You can literally see outside.
11:37That's just unbelievable.
11:38Wow.
11:39Yeah, you're not saving any money here.
11:40Thank you, Jake.
11:41You're welcome.
11:42You're welcome.
11:43Oh, there's termite tubes right there.
11:46Oh, my God.
11:48It's not good.
11:49So when you don't think it can get worse, it gets worse.
11:52I mean, it's one thing after another.
11:56A real stinker.
12:05We've got termite tubes.
12:07We take this wall out.
12:08And then we'll be able to see everything.
12:10All right.
12:10Let's try and pull it out.
12:14We saw a couple termite tubes.
12:16And that's just kind of how it goes with house flipping.
12:18If you're not ready for the unexpected, you're going to get wiped out of this business.
12:21Use this big-ass big bolt.
12:22If termites have done any serious damage, you'll be able to push a bolt or screwdriver right through that wood.
12:30Okay.
12:30I think we dodged a bullet here.
12:32I don't think the termites are that bad.
12:34The subfloor is not bad either.
12:36A little bit of damage.
12:37Nothing too crazy.
12:40Okay.
12:41Luckily, they didn't seem like they were active termites.
12:44And then beyond that, I don't think that they've done much damage, if at all.
12:48Yeah, we really dodged a bullet with this.
12:50Anybody home?
12:52That's insane.
12:53Are we calling this lucky?
12:55The positive is we've got a massive basement.
12:58Yeah, good ceiling.
12:59We can finish all of this.
13:01We're going to turn this thing into an 1,800-square-foot house.
13:03We've got to clear this thing out a little bit more.
13:08Yeah, my foundation guy's going to come here tomorrow, and we're going to get a real dollar amount on what
13:12this thing's going to cost.
13:15We spent all day cleaning this dang house out.
13:18Now that it's empty, I can get my mom in here to start figuring out our design.
13:22All right, Tommy boy, show me what you got.
13:24So, I'd like this wall to still go, and I think you are in agreement there.
13:28So, we still have all of this for the kitchen.
13:32I'd like to make the kitchen bigger.
13:33I'd like to swap them and make this an eat-in space with a banquette.
13:38So, with the eat-in spaces as opposed to dining room, you can steal a whole lot of space.
13:42You know, kitchens and bathrooms sell.
13:44Yeah.
13:44So, we need the kitchens and the bathrooms.
13:46Okay.
13:46Okay, we got our bathroom.
13:47All right, the bathroom is still, in my opinion, very large.
13:50I mean, there's a lot of wasted space there.
13:52We could split this bathroom in two and create an ensuite for our primary bedroom.
13:57To create an ensuite, that definitely drives up the ARV.
14:01Everything shifts.
14:02So, then right here is a tub.
14:04Yes.
14:05Toilet.
14:06Vanity.
14:07Vanity.
14:07Yeah.
14:07So, now we got our...
14:10We got money!
14:11Got to spend money to make money.
14:12Some wise woman once said, that'd be me.
14:16Ah.
14:17Oh, wow.
14:18Last time I was here, Tom, I couldn't go farther than the stairs.
14:21It's still pretty gross.
14:22Because it was...
14:22But it was full of debris.
14:24Yeah.
14:24I really believe that we have to finish off this basement to add square footage to this house.
14:28All of our mechanical systems are back behind us.
14:31We got our water heater, our plumbing, our electric furnace, all that stuff.
14:34That's your laundry room.
14:35And that's your laundry room.
14:36And then look at all of this basement space that we can finish.
14:39Oh, wow.
14:39We got a lot of space here.
14:41So, since your utilities are over there, my suggestion would be to put your bathroom right
14:46here.
14:47Okay.
14:47Make it a decent size.
14:48We don't have to do a dinky one.
14:49I agree.
14:50We can create a bedroom with egress along this wall, and then we can finish the rest off
14:54as a nice size rec room.
14:56I know you said you were even scared of this house before.
14:58How are you feeling now?
14:59I think you crushed it.
15:00Wow.
15:01I'm excited about this.
15:02This is adding a lot of value.
15:03So, we are up to four bedrooms now, and three full bathrooms.
15:07That's right.
15:09I think we got a damn good plan here.
15:15Oh!
15:17Today's demo day.
15:18We're getting this place cleaned out.
15:23Oh, look at all this mold.
15:24This is what happens when you don't use mold-resistant drywall.
15:29Oh, wow.
15:30That is a lot of mold.
15:31Ew.
15:33Make sure those studs are good.
15:35Studs are good.
15:38The first floor of this house is a bread and butter rehab for us.
15:41I mean, these things we can do with our eyes closed.
15:43The basement is scary.
15:45Thankfully, my foundation guy is probably the best in all of Ohio.
15:48He's coming by today to take a look and hopefully give us some good news.
15:51Whoa.
15:52Wow.
15:55Yeah, look at that.
15:57Wow.
15:58Oh, that's pretty bad.
15:59Man.
16:01I see daylight right there.
16:03This needs to be rebuilt.
16:05I can't imagine this going that much longer without falling over.
16:07Yeah, it's really wet in these corners back here.
16:12It's just soaking wet.
16:14This goes all the way around like this.
16:16Damn.
16:18Man.
16:20That's not a, I don't like a, I don't like when I take my contractor's words away.
16:26Yeah.
16:26That's not a good sign.
16:27Yeah, I'm trying to, I don't know that we can beam it, man.
16:30Okay, that was kind of my worry.
16:32Yeah.
16:32This will suck to rebuild.
16:34It's just a lot of wall.
16:35That's going to suck.
16:36I don't like how you smiled at me when you said that.
16:38Yeah.
16:39I was thinking of my kid's college education.
16:40Yeah.
16:41Nice.
16:42They're taken care of.
16:43That's great.
16:44This is exactly the kind of foundation work that my dad warned me about.
16:47We have two walls that can be beamed, which means that they're not that bad and some beams
16:52will maybe pull the wall back and straighten it out, but we have two walls that need completely
16:56rebuilt.
16:57So the house on stilts, tear out the walls, then actually rebuild with new structural block,
17:02which is insane.
17:04I'd say it's probably top five worst walls I've ever seen.
17:08I want to give you a good price.
17:09I know you've got a lot of stuff here.
17:10You're looking at probably around 18, 18.5 per wall.
17:17That's no waterproofing.
17:19That's no beams.
17:20That's without the egress window.
17:22So you got a lot more costs going in there.
17:25So we're looking at potentially up to 50 grand on this thing, huh?
17:28Could be.
17:30Yeah.
17:30Okay.
17:31That adds another 20 grand to my foundation cost, bringing my total investment up to $220,000.
17:37This is a tough scenario just to make this basement livable, right?
17:41So, I mean, this is a big expense.
18:01What in the world?
18:03Oh, my God.
18:04Dude.
18:05That is unreal.
18:07Dude, that looks insane.
18:07It's like a bomb went off.
18:09What is going on?
18:11Look at all this dirt.
18:12Yeah, it's been two weeks since we started this property, and we get here.
18:16It looks like a war zone.
18:17This is crazy.
18:19They've clearly not rebuilt the wall yet.
18:21Yeah.
18:21They just dug a trench.
18:23Yeah, we showed up expecting kind of a new foundation, but it looks like the original block is still there.
18:27You've got to be kidding me.
18:29Wow.
18:30I mean, look at that.
18:31I'm, for the first time in maybe my entire life, I'm a lot of lost for words here, dude.
18:41Hey, Brandon.
18:41Are you in there?
18:42Hey.
18:43What's up, sir?
18:44What'd you do to my front yard?
18:46Uh, kind of tore it up.
18:47Yeah.
18:48Kind of.
18:48Yeah.
18:49So you can see we excavated a little bit more than we talked about.
18:52No kidding.
18:54Um, yeah, yeah.
18:56But there is, you know, one more thing I've got to show you inside.
18:59Cool.
19:00Brandon should have had the foundation walls rebuilt by now.
19:03It's really irritating, because I'm spending a lot of time doing it.
19:05I'm spending money every day that goes by.
19:07Oh, my God.
19:09Holy smokes, dude.
19:11That's a lot of beams.
19:12About 22 more beams than we talked about originally.
19:15I thought we were rebuilding this wall right here.
19:17This crack was huge last time.
19:19I mean, what?
19:19Yeah.
19:20Why is this beamed?
19:21Yeah, so when we took all the weight off the wall, it helped us a lot to actually be able
19:24to get these beams in.
19:25You're telling me you took all that dirt out and the pressure kind of just...
19:28The excavation was a good thing.
19:30That's why we did all four.
19:31We're able to beam all of these walls in this basement.
19:33We won't have to rebuild anything.
19:35Holy .
19:35Yeah.
19:36Are you serious?
19:37Yeah.
19:40I'm not so much paying for your kid's college anymore, but I think I've got to buy you steak dinner
19:43now.
19:44I mean, this is saving a lot of money, dude.
19:47This is awesome.
19:47Yeah.
19:48How's this going to work?
19:49Yeah, how's it going to work?
19:49So, yeah, they're going to start cranking this thing back.
19:53That's wild.
19:54Literally pushing the wall back.
19:55You can see this thing's already moving.
20:00This is insane.
20:01This is a great day for us.
20:02I was expecting to spend $50,000 fixing this foundation.
20:06Brandon was able to get the job done for just over $20,000.
20:10We set a budget of $110,000 to renovate this entire house and we've already spent about $33,000.
20:16So, we've got $77,000 left to finish this project.
20:20That's not a lot of money to flip an entire house.
20:32Ready to rock and roll.
20:34I used to design every house we flipped by myself.
20:37Are you ready?
20:38I'm ready.
20:39Are you ready to make magic?
20:40I had a whole extra cup of coffee for you today.
20:42Did you?
20:44When Tommy and I started out, it was okay because we were just doing one at a time.
20:47He's on such a great scale now.
20:49Bringing Amanda and her team in has been a lifesaver.
20:52Yeah, I have your ideas on paper.
20:54I love it.
20:55This goes from brain to Tommy's chicken scratch to this.
20:58This, yes.
20:59So, you walk in and this is all the living room.
21:02And then here's your entrance to your kitchen.
21:04Remember, the kitchen used to be over here.
21:05And so, this is all our cabinets.
21:07That's kind of what I wanted to focus on today.
21:09Let's start there, you guys.
21:11Can we pull these down?
21:12Yeah.
21:12So, kitchen is a big draw in every house.
21:15So, I want to make sure that we totally hit it out of the park on this house.
21:19So, for back splash, we have the tall whites.
21:21We have some glossy whites.
21:22I don't like the little ones.
21:24No to the little ones.
21:25I don't like the shiny ones.
21:25I don't like shiny.
21:27Try these.
21:28Okay.
21:29Because, oh yeah, that looks really good.
21:31Yeah.
21:31And you know what I've wanted to do for a long time, and Tommy always is xnaying it.
21:36I want to do a herringbone pattern.
21:38Okay.
21:39Well, I want to warn you that herringbone, it costs more to install.
21:43Okay, Tommy.
21:44And you need 20%.
21:45Okay, Tommy.
21:45Hey, I'm just trying to follow the rules.
21:47I know.
21:48You know what?
21:48We're going to put it in, and I think he's going to be so in love with it that he's
21:51not
21:51going to even notice it was a little bit more.
21:53It's kind of a double whammy on the price.
21:55That's okay.
21:57He won't know until he walks it.
21:59I mean, I'm not telling him.
22:00Neither are you.
22:01So we're not telling him until he walks it.
22:03He'll just be wowed.
22:04All right.
22:05All right.
22:05Well, this was easy.
22:06That was an easy one.
22:07Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
22:08All right.
22:08Yay, yay, yay.
22:09I'm so excited.
22:10See you later, alligators.
22:11Alligators.
22:13Alligators.
22:14Alligators.
22:15Alligators.
22:15Alligators.
22:16With foundation work out of the way, it's off to the races.
22:19Moved on framing.
22:21They framed out the primary bath.
22:22And are starting framing on the basement.
22:26Willie!
22:28Willie, Bob!
22:29Back here.
22:30Nice hole.
22:32What's going on, Diggs?
22:34Yeah, Will called us because he said there's an issue with the house.
22:37Oh, you look good.
22:38Mom doesn't really come back to the houses after design until they're getting closer,
22:42so it's got to be a design issue that Will's talking about.
22:44When we started to open up the ceiling...
22:46Okay.
22:47...so we could see how this is being carried...
22:49Yeah.
22:49...this right here is actually load-bearing, and that's also load-bearing.
22:53But if you look in your attic, you actually have engineered trusses.
22:56They were engineered to hold a certain amount of weight.
22:58You can't just mess with these.
23:00So it makes it a lot more difficult.
23:01We can't just recess the LVL into the attic like we want it to.
23:07Yeah, the plan is to take out that little hip wall in the kitchen and also the stairwell wall.
23:11To do that, we'll need to put a beam in to support it.
23:14The beam has to be recessed minimum right there.
23:16I was so excited about looking in the front door and being able to see all the way through that.
23:21The problem with having that beam is that it's going to be kind of low.
23:24We'll be cutting off the sight line into our kitchen.
23:28I mean, I'm short, so that's not a big deal.
23:31But, Mom, it's not...
23:31So, Will, walk in and out of there.
23:32You're being short.
23:33I mean, you're not a very tall person.
23:35I am. I'm pretty tall. Above average, all right?
23:38Anybody, I'd say, over 6'5", they're going to feel like they're almost going to hit their head on it.
23:43If this stays, then we have to redo the kitchen layout.
23:45This is not staying. That's not an option.
23:46I can't. Yeah.
23:48Our costs are racking up every day that we hold this house.
23:50Delaying this project more to redesign this kitchen is absolutely not an option.
23:54What's the alternative?
23:55The only two options are keep this and have a different concept or recess the LVL to right there.
24:01I don't like that idea.
24:02Those are our two options.
24:04That's a bummer. That's just a big bummer.
24:16There's two options. It's either keep the layout like this or run that beam from here to there.
24:21So, what do you want to do?
24:22Well, there's a giant hole in the ceiling already.
24:24Can we vault it?
24:25That was just my idea. You can't...
24:26No!
24:27That was mine!
24:27You can't just take my idea. That was my idea.
24:29You didn't say it.
24:29Are you kidding me?
24:30I said it. Vault this baby.
24:34I really, really, really want to vault that ceiling.
24:37That'll make this all appear bigger.
24:39That's going to be a $5,000 probably swing.
24:42Is that all?
24:43I bet.
24:43What do you mean, is that all?
24:45Do you want this house to be pretty or do you want to make a profit?
24:47Both.
24:48We have to have both.
24:49We have to have pretty profit.
24:50We'd have to rip off the entire roof covering and reframe the entire roof deck.
24:54I'm not replacing the roof.
24:55If we can replace...
24:56If we don't have to replace the roof and we can vault the ceilings, I'd say we'd do it.
25:00But...
25:00See, I talked to the framer and he said the only option, if you wanted to vault the ceilings,
25:04is ripping the roof covering off.
25:06So...
25:06Oh!
25:07My little savior.
25:08Hector's here.
25:09Let's ask him.
25:10Okay.
25:11What's up, sir?
25:12So...
25:12Is it possible...
25:14I see this hole here.
25:16Can we vault these ceilings?
25:18Yes.
25:19We can.
25:20Expensive.
25:21Do you have to rip off the roof to do it?
25:24Yes.
25:25You do?
25:25My problem is I always want to go the extra yard.
25:29And unfortunately, my son disagrees with me on this one.
25:31And he's the one with the purse strings.
25:34So...
25:34I have to just...
25:36Zip it.
25:38For once.
25:41That's no fun.
25:42If you stay up here any longer, we're going into spending more money, so we'll finish
25:46up later.
25:48Well, I think you guys have just rained on my parade.
25:51So, it's settled.
25:52We run the beam.
25:53That's fine.
25:53And we keep the design the exact same.
25:55That's fine.
25:56And you can sit here and pout.
25:57I'm not pouting.
25:58I'm just sad.
25:59Let's get out of here.
26:05The days are flying by on this build, and so is my money.
26:09The structural beam is up at the house, and the open concept is looking great.
26:14The old electrical panel was a fire hazard, so it's getting replaced along with all the wiring in the house.
26:27We're waiting for electrical finishes to be done to do plumbing fixtures.
26:31So, we got an open house next week.
26:33When do you think it's going to be done?
26:35At least to your side of it.
26:36Probably tomorrow.
26:36Tomorrow?
26:37I just need to make sure that it's done.
26:38Tom's on my case, so...
26:40It's going to be a big push to finish everything before the open house.
26:44And I've got my mom and Tommy breathing down my neck.
26:47Carpet in the basement, LVP in the bathroom.
26:49But we have to get done with plumbing and electrical finishes to be able to do carpet.
26:54We still have a lot to do.
26:55So, that last little stretch is definitely the hardest.
27:00Ooh, Tommy, I really like the exterior.
27:03Hey, guys!
27:05Ooh!
27:06Tommy!
27:08This looks so good!
27:10Yay!
27:12Aren't you excited when you walk in there?
27:14You're like, yay!
27:15That's exactly what I was thinking, yes.
27:16This looks really good.
27:17Notice the herringbone design?
27:19Whose idea was it to do the herringbone?
27:22What?
27:23Are you going to complain about how pretty it looks?
27:26I mean, it looks nice, but how much is it costing?
27:29How much is that costing us?
27:32Flipping rule number one is you don't over-rehab your houses.
27:35So, everywhere I look, we're spending kind of unnecessary money on finishes that I don't think we should have.
27:40How much have we spent on this house so far?
27:41Around $115,000.
27:43$115,000.
27:44We haven't done a driveway yet.
27:45We don't have finishes in the basement yet.
27:47We don't have appliances yet.
27:50We're basically maxed out on the budget at this point.
27:53The more my mom spends renovating this house, the more we're eating into our profit margin.
27:57That means if we don't sell this house for top dollar, we're not going to come out on top.
28:00Over here is that banquette idea, okay, where we have somebody building like a built-in bench and you lift
28:06it up for storage.
28:07And who makes this?
28:09Oh, artisans.
28:11It's pretty niche.
28:12Come again?
28:13Artisans?
28:13What am I building?
28:15A chateau?
28:16Where you're getting a custom banquette?
28:18Yes.
28:19I did see a bench in the design plan, but they completely left out the part where it's designed by
28:23an artisan.
28:24And you just do it without telling me?
28:25What do you want me to do?
28:26That's my job.
28:27You work for me, not for her.
28:29We're a team.
28:29Cancel the bench.
28:31Let's trim this out.
28:32Cancel the bench.
28:32I can't.
28:33What do you mean you can't?
28:35We're going to pay the deposit.
28:36Well, how much total is the whole thing?
28:38It's going to be like $2,000.
28:39$2,000?
28:41For a bench?
28:42You approved it.
28:43You approved of all this.
28:43You did a thumbs up.
28:45And I'm like, well, it's been approved.
28:47I see how you guys turned this on me.
28:49That's crazy.
28:50Yeah, we're all trying to be professional here, but this is a family business.
28:52And at the end of the day, this is my mom.
28:54And my mom's going to do what she's going to do.
28:56That's how it's going to be.
28:59Oh, this turned out so beautiful.
29:02Look how pretty the floor tile is.
29:04With that.
29:04That looks like marble.
29:06That's not marble.
29:07Does it say marble?
29:09It is marble.
29:10You guys got marble floors?
29:13You got to me.
29:15You got marble floors for a $300,000 house?
29:19You're renovating it like the Taj Mahal.
29:23I'm being pranked.
29:25This house is a damn joke.
29:30You got marble floors?
29:32And why do we have 10 boxes of it?
29:34You may have over-ordered.
29:36Don't look at me.
29:37You may have over-ordered.
29:38I did not over-order.
29:39I just tell them what to order.
29:40I see an item number.
29:41She sends me an item number.
29:42There's no description, just item number.
29:44So no wonder if we spent $115,000.
29:46It's definitely not easy being torn between the two of them.
29:49Tom always wants things done as quickly and cheaply as possible, but mom never wants to skimp
29:53on her design.
29:55A beautiful house sells itself.
29:57People are going to look at these finishes and they're going to want this house.
30:00Since it's already all installed.
30:01Yes.
30:02I can't uninstall things.
30:04We have to sell this house for more than $300,000.
30:06Okay.
30:07Now we have to sell for more than $300,000 or at $300,000 no matter what.
30:10We will.
30:10Or else I've literally done all this to make $0.
30:13That's no fun.
30:14The more I stay in here, the more mad I'm going to get.
30:17Don't be mad.
30:18Be happy.
30:19Turn that frown upside down, Tommy.
30:25Last touches are going in at the house today.
30:28Our artisan is here to install that custom banquette.
30:31Our custom hood from Hoodsley is going up in the kitchen.
30:33And in the basement, the pros from Right Rug are rolling out the wall-to-wall carpeting.
30:39Right off the bat, baby.
30:40It's like old raccoon poop up here.
30:42Was that you, Tom?
30:45I've got Jake and my dad coming to re-inspect this house before we get it listed.
30:48They're here to catch anything that we missed during the rehab.
30:51Hopefully, it's a short list.
30:52Oh, wow.
30:52Remember, we had the trees.
30:54But it was way over ground.
30:55So that's probably why we had that damage to the shingles.
30:57Oh, yes, there's a damaged shingle.
30:58If the tree was rubbing on it, it could get this whole edge here where it's been torn up.
31:02Yeah.
31:02Might have to make a repair here, you think?
31:05Pre-list inspections help, Tom, a ton.
31:07Because when you're flipping homes at scale, there's going to be things that fall through the cracks.
31:12All right, boys, take your shoes off.
31:14My brand new house.
31:15It's coming together.
31:16Where do we want to start here?
31:17Should we start running some water?
31:20Supposedly works.
31:22We're down to the wire here.
31:23I need this inspection to go incredibly smooth.
31:25Well, you're not leaking here.
31:27Check this out.
31:28You got a screw sticking out here.
31:31Oh, wow.
31:31No, I did not raise these guys to skip the small stuff.
31:34Hey, look what I found.
31:36Blue tape is just an easy way to highlight the imperfections.
31:39See a problem?
31:40Blue tape.
31:43Stopper does work.
31:47No leak.
31:48And then I'm just going to wait until this thing overflows to this little mini overflow.
31:54And it's leaking.
31:55Is it?
31:56Oh, yeah.
31:57So it's right here.
31:59You can see the water.
32:02As a flipper, you do not want to have any leaks in your houses.
32:06It's a big problem.
32:08This house happened today.
32:10There you go.
32:11Okay.
32:13We spent a fortune on these bathrooms.
32:15They need to be perfect.
32:16You got a little gap around here.
32:18You're going to check this door, Thomas?
32:23These doors are nice.
32:24Yeah, solid core.
32:25Yeah, careful of my marble floors, all right, buddy?
32:27Jake, you can't even wear matching socks.
32:30Anything so far so good?
32:32Make sure the vanity is set.
32:34So far, no current leakage.
32:36Nice.
32:37All right.
32:38Well, I think we're good on the first floor.
32:40Cool.
32:40Let's see where the magic happens.
32:41All right, we'll follow your lead.
32:42Jake's the inspector, so he has to be observant.
32:44We're just checking to see how much he actually notices.
32:47What are you looking at?
32:48I mean, the main thing that you're looking at right when you open it is this is your main
32:53power and make sure that none of them are doubled up anywhere.
32:57Yeah, your electrician did a nice job.
32:58It looks really gorgeous.
32:59Very clean.
32:59Test your GFCI.
33:01That's functional.
33:02There's one big issue over by the toilet right now.
33:04It's blue tape.
33:05Where is it?
33:11I was hoping I'd use all my tape today, but the boys had a lot more fun than I did
33:16today.
33:17I think I'm going to egress on out of here.
33:19See you guys.
33:19Thanks for your help today, bud.
33:21Ah!
33:22Don't hurt yourself.
33:23I hurt.
33:25See you, Jake.
33:26It works.
33:27We're supposed to list this house in two days.
33:29There's a lot of things we have to do before we get this house on the market.
33:36I love the staging day.
33:38It's so much fun because it will turn this house now into a home.
33:41Good morning, Miss Ivy.
33:43Morning.
33:44Oh, my goodness.
33:46It's packed.
33:47This is like the icing on the cake, the cherry on the sundae.
33:50It's like everything comes together today.
33:52Months worth of work.
33:53Come on.
33:54Oh, there they are.
33:55Hello.
33:56Good morning, my Jakey.
33:58Good morning.
33:58How are you?
33:59The boys Drew Straws and Chris and Jake, they lost.
34:04And the loser had to stage this house with mom.
34:08These are your helpers for the day.
34:09How you doing?
34:09Well, I don't see how that's a loss.
34:13Let's not break anything, Jakey.
34:15Oh, okay.
34:15When they get in there, they're going to realize how much fun staging is.
34:18They're going to realize that the real losers are Will and Tommy.
34:22It's going to be fun.
34:23All right.
34:23Trip one.
34:25I'm counting these.
34:29I feel like I'm moving one of the kids back into college or something here.
34:36Yay!
34:39The table does look heavy.
34:40It sounds heavy.
34:43What the hell?
34:44Come on, guys.
34:46What the heck?
34:46We just sat down.
34:48It's that time, huh?
34:49I've got a few punch out things Tommy's asked me to check.
34:52And so I'll do that while I'm here.
34:56In a couple hours, it's going to be amazing.
35:00It's going to be phenomenal.
35:03I'm so excited.
35:06But I think that the hood needs to be painted a different color.
35:09It's a stark white.
35:10It needs to match the cupboards better.
35:13All right.
35:14I got to send that to Thomas.
35:15This is too white.
35:17You cannot go this far in a project and get down to the final details and strike out.
35:22I want this house to get snatched up quickly.
35:24That's why I'm here as long as it takes on staging day.
35:40It's been a long journey, but it's been really, really fun to bring this house back to life.
35:46This property was so overgrown and neglected when we bought it, you could barely see the house.
35:55We took out some trees, replaced the siding, and it looks brand new.
36:03Good morning, Thomas.
36:05Good morning.
36:05How are you?
36:06Great. This looks amazing.
36:09Walking in for the first time, you were hit with 10 years of stench.
36:12It was unbearable.
36:19It was closed off before, and now it just feels like a bigger house.
36:23When you first walk in, the fact that you can see to the back of the house, and you can
36:26see that gorgeous green and white kitchen, that's what hits you.
36:29Hey, boys.
36:30God.
36:31Wow.
36:33You guys did this staging? Every bit of it, man.
36:35This is insane, dude.
36:37I can't believe how good it looks.
36:38Hello.
36:39This is beautiful.
36:40Remember that wall here?
36:42The kitchen was all crammed back there.
36:48This is insane.
36:49The kitchen literally flip-flopped.
36:51Exactly.
36:52This is so much more functional for today's family.
36:55Yeah.
36:55Check out the banquette.
36:56How cute is that?
36:58Mom snapped with the design here.
36:59She definitely killed it.
37:01She snapped.
37:05Remember, this was the only bathroom in the house.
37:11It was this long, kind of wasted space bathroom.
37:15Remember that, Tommy?
37:18But this turned out really beautifully.
37:20It's really sharp.
37:21How pretty is this tile?
37:22This tile's beautiful.
37:23It's amazing.
37:24And then...
37:24Herringbone floor?
37:25This is the herringbone house.
37:27The hoaringbone house.
37:28Come on.
37:28That was good, honey.
37:29You double herringboned me, and you did the same.
37:31I double herringboned you.
37:32I did.
37:33I don't want to say that out loud.
37:35Double herringbone.
37:36Too late.
37:36This room turned out so nice.
37:41Yeah, it did.
37:42There was an intense amount of debris.
37:49This is so beautiful.
37:50Wait, one sec.
37:51Let's go!
37:52All right, let's continue quick.
37:53Let's get out of here.
37:54We're good.
37:54She's smart for you.
37:55Oh!
37:57Value add here is this primary en suite.
38:03Look how beautiful this is.
38:05By shrinking the hallway bathroom and making an en suite on the backside, we added probably
38:0950 grand of value to the house.
38:11Yeah, that paid for my marble tiles, honey.
38:13I shouldn't have said that.
38:15Let's go!
38:17I feel like I'm leading a parade.
38:19You are leading a parade.
38:22This basement was a train wreck.
38:24I mean, beyond the massive amounts of debris and cobwebs, there were insane foundation issues.
38:30All right.
38:31Look at this.
38:34Wow.
38:34This is insane.
38:35This is unreal.
38:36Isn't it?
38:37Wow.
38:37This is the craziest part about the whole house.
38:39Isn't this?
38:39Christopher, look at this.
38:40Hey, this place was just an absolute dungeon.
38:50Yeah, I knew if we were spending all this money to fix up the basement, we had to pack
38:54this house with value.
38:55So we ended up finishing off probably another 700 square foot to make this from a three bed,
39:00one bath to a four bed, three bath.
39:02Is this not amazing?
39:03These walls were collapsing.
39:05Yes, they were.
39:06They were.
39:06I put both of my hands right there.
39:07Walk over and put your hand through this wall.
39:10That's crazy.
39:12The same with the back wall was the same way too.
39:14It was downright dangerous in that basement, but now it is a showstopper.
39:22I mean, we doubled the square footage with this.
39:24Yeah, we did.
39:25It looks absolutely lovely.
39:26I'm so tickled with how this turned out down here.
39:29But the real value is that way.
39:37This is a really large bathroom.
39:39This is super sharp.
39:44I just took the opportunity and shut that door and they were all tidy in there.
39:47It would have been better if the lights were off.
39:49So this turned out really nice and I love the built-in shelves right here.
39:56And this is our biggest bedroom.
40:04Wow.
40:05There was a wall that was here.
40:06There was a big fridge.
40:07There was a lot of kitty litter on this side.
40:11Nice big room.
40:13Yeah.
40:13A nice big walk-in closet.
40:14It turned out really good.
40:17I think the basement will sell this house, but I also think it's just another piece of the puzzle.
40:21I mean, there's so many wow factors to this house.
40:23I think when a buyer comes through and they see everything, it's going to go fast.
40:26This house has not been easy.
40:27And I mean, it's taken everybody in the family to make this thing happen.
40:31So I think it's time to sell this damn house.
40:33Yeah.
40:33What do you think?
40:33I am really proud of how this house has all come together.
40:36This is, I'd say, one of our top renovations.
40:39The change is a complete 180 from what it started at.
40:42I'm so thrilled with this house.
40:46Super excited for this open house.
40:47I think Tommy's just probably breathing a big sigh of relief that it's all done.
40:52Now it's out of his control.
40:53It's mine now.
40:54It's my baby.
40:54Let's go.
40:55Time to rock and roll.
40:57Well, hello.
40:58Welcome.
40:59Hi.
41:00This is so nice.
41:01How are you?
41:02Welcome to this lovely, new, renovated home.
41:04Well, welcome.
41:06It's like sorority rush.
41:07You have to meet and greet everybody when they come to the door.
41:09I'm kidding.
41:10And you only have one opportunity to make a first impression.
41:13I love this green.
41:15The green.
41:15I was about to say the green.
41:16I love the green.
41:16I love the green.
41:18Yeah.
41:18People are loving that kitchen.
41:20This is a custom range hood.
41:22And we've got a herringbone pattern.
41:24I love herringbone.
41:24Do you have it in your house currently?
41:26No, but I'm looking for it in my next house.
41:28Are you?
41:29Yeah.
41:29Okay.
41:29Well, wait.
41:30We might have a home run here.
41:31They're loving the herringbone pattern.
41:33They're loving that banquette.
41:34Oh, my gosh.
41:35I didn't even see it.
41:36Is that not amazing?
41:37I know.
41:39Wait.
41:39Can I sit in it?
41:40Yes.
41:40Okay.
41:42The things that I thought would be wow factors, they are wow factors.
41:46I love the marble floors.
41:49You recognize that they're marble.
41:51I know marble when I see marble.
41:53Upstairs.
41:54Oh, wow.
41:55This is so nice.
41:57No way.
41:58This is huge.
41:58Yeah.
41:59It's bigger than you think it is.
42:00It just keeps going.
42:01This is my own as a defogger, too.
42:03Isn't that nice?
42:04Stop it.
42:05I love that.
42:06Super cool.
42:07Ooh.
42:13Touching.
42:14I'm feeling really good with the feedback, but the proof is in the offers.
42:17Okay?
42:18So I need to get some offers on the table.
42:21After purchasing this house for $65,000, we were able to fix the foundation for $20,300.
42:28But we underestimated our renovation costs for the rest of the house and ended up spending
42:32a total of $150,000 plus $39,000 in fees and holding costs.
42:37A lucky buyer locked down the sale for $299,900, which means we're walking away with $25,600 in profit.
42:47Shazam!
42:48Nice.
42:48We did it.
42:49We did do it.
42:50Yay!
42:50Made just a little over $25,000.
42:53That's awesome.
42:53No, it means we overspent on this house.
42:55No, we did not overspent.
42:56Yes, we did.
42:56What this means is we need herringbone and marble in every one of our flips going forward.
43:01If you think about doing that again, I'm throwing a snowball at you.
43:03No, you're not.
43:04All right.
43:04Why don't we go celebrate?
43:04All right.
43:05Let's go to lunch.
43:06I get to pick the restaurant this time.
