On this episode of HGTV, the team explores a 1300-square-foot house with a unique charm reminiscent of a manufactured home. Despite its small size of two bedrooms and one bathroom, the property boasts a raised Foundation, a pocket door, and laundry facilities within a bedroom. With a purchase price of 400,000 and additional finishing costs of 92,000, the team aims to enhance the property's value significantly.
One standout feature is the potential for a 100,000 value addition through strategic renovations and improvements. The discussion around a 21,000 roof replacement showcases the team's attention to detail and commitment to quality upgrades. The introduction of white picket tile adds a touch of elegance, transforming the space into a more appealing and marketable property.
As the team delves deeper into the renovation process, they encounter challenges and tough decisions, such as whether to pursue an Accessory Dwelling Unit (Adu). Despite uncertainties, the team's quick decision-making and strategic flips lead to a successful outcome. With an offer of 850,000 in escrow after just a week on the market, the team stands to make a significant profit of 260,000, solidifying their expertise in the competitive real estate market.
