The hardwood floors underneath were beautiful. They weren’t damaged at… Read More

It is finally here! I am finally sharing the before photos and plans for our 5th flip house! Our flipping journey has been so much fun and we are excited to finally get another flip on our hands. One of the different things about this flip is that we have another house project going on at the same time! Our long time renter has moved out of the lower apartment of our duplex.
