House #31: Final Analysis

June 22, 2012

The Puzzle House has been sold, and from a pure profit perspective, this has been our most profitable project to date (see all numbers below)… This was a big renovation that we almost backed out of several times; ultimately, our GC and structural engineer convinced us that the structural issues (and other issues) in this […]

House #31: 2nd Contract

May 23, 2012

Wow, I didn’t even have time to post about the fact that the first contract on The Puzzle House fell through, and now I’m posting about our second contract… First things first — the original buyer seemed very gung-ho on the house, set up her inspection immediately, had her inspection (which went great) and then […]

House #31: Two Offers / 1st Contract

May 17, 2012

We received two offers on The Puzzle House yesterday, and there may be a third one coming today… The first offer we received was great — full-price, NACA buyer, looking to close quickly.

House #31: On The Market / Pics

May 4, 2012

It took several weeks longer than expected, but The Puzzle House is finally on the market… I haven’t gotten all the final invoices for the renovation work, so I don’t know where we came in on our budget (it looks like we’re going to be about 2-4% over budget on this one), but the renovation […]

Update for 4/19/2012

April 19, 2012

I’ve spent much of the past week trying to clean up this site after getting hacked. Nothing you likely would have noticed unless you did a Google search for something on the site, in which case you would have seen links and content for prescription medications instead of my real estate content! I couldn’t figure […]

After a slow start on The Puzzle House, we’ve passed all our preliminary inspections, we’ve gotten the utilities on, and we’re now starting to make some real progress… Here’s an update on our progress, with some pictures: All demo has been completed.

House #31: Slow Progress

March 4, 2012

We’ve already lost much of the first two weeks of work at The Puzzle House, mainly due to difficulty getting the utilities on… When I called to get the power turned on the day of closing, I was told that — because the electricity had been off for nearly two years — I needed to […]

We started work on The Puzzle House this morning, and spent a good couple hours with our contractors making final decisions on things like kitchen layout, flooring finishes, moving walls, etc (here are some of the other things we’re up against as well).
