House #48: Second Contract

March 12, 2014

I posted a couple weeks ago about House #48 being taken off the market and then put back on, but we actually kept it off the market a couple extra weeks to do some additional punch-list work. We just put it back on the market this past weekend… Turns out our timing was good — […]

House #48: Back on Market

February 16, 2014

House #48 was under contract to sell about six weeks ago, and was scheduled to close at the beginning of January. Unfortunately, about a week prior to closing, we had a burst pipe in an upstairs bathroom (this was when temps were around -10 degrees in the area and the house was vacant). There was […]

House #46: Final Analysis

January 12, 2014

We closed on The WI-4 House about 10 days ago… I’ve written about 50 of these final analysis posts in the past 5 years, and this is the first time I’ve had to write one about losing money on a house. While you’d think I might be upset about that, I’m actually thrilled that I’ve […]

House #43: Final Analysis

January 5, 2014

We closed on the sale of The Tear-Down House today… This was our first new construction project with another good friend/investor in Atlanta, and was a learning experience for both of us (more for me than him :). While I wasn’t in town for much of this project, my partner did an awesome job keeping […]

House #50: Final Analysis

December 19, 2013

We closed on the sale of House #50 today… This project was another Milwaukee house that needed a good cosmetic overhaul, along with some reconfiguration. We blew open the kitchen to the dining room and the living room, and took the huge master bedroom and created a master suite (added a full bath and a […]

House #43: Inspection/Appraisal

December 17, 2013

The buyers for The Tear-Down House have completed their inspections and the inspection report was short and clean. There were a bunch of little items — paint touch-ups, windows painted shut, some caulking needed, some debris in the back yard, a light not working, etc — and only one major item. The major item is […]

House #43: First Contract

December 6, 2013

The Tear-Down House has been listed for a couple months, and we’ve dropped the price a couple times (we couldn’t determine exactly where the value should fall, so we started pretty high, and slowly came down from there). Certainly, the time of year has contributed to the fact that we weren’t able to get a […]

House #48: First Contract

November 23, 2013

House #48 has been listed for about two weeks, and has gotten a ton of interest from buyers. One of the common pieces of feedback we got the first weekend was that buyers didn’t like the unfinished basement (it was dirty and dank), so we went in and painted and cleaned it before the second […]
