We closed on the sale of The WI-3 House earlier this week… This was another Milwaukee deal. The rehab was basic, other than same MAJOR foundation work that cost over $13,000. But, the rest of the project was cosmetic — redoing the 1.5 baths, updating the kitchen, new roof, interior/exterior paint, new fixtures, etc. We […]

House #49: Issues / Pictures

September 27, 2013

House #49 has been listed for about 6 weeks, and we’re not getting nearly as much interest as I had hoped. I mentioned in my update post the other day that we’ve had some house issues, and this is one of the houses we’ve had issues with. Our sheetrock/painter did a horrible job in this […]

House #45: First Contract

August 23, 2013

House #43: Project Diary

June 6, 2013

I’ve decided to create a day-by-day “diary” of The Tear-Down House project…it contains every detail of the project in a day-by-day format, including links to schedules, budgets, pictures, videos, bids, invoices, etc. In order to get it in front of the widest audience, I’m doing it via a thread on BiggerPockets.com. If you’re interested in […]

House #45: Staging Pictures

June 1, 2013

We finally put The WI-3 House on the market this weekend… It was a much longer rehab than we had anticipated, but that’s because we’re still working out the kinks on long-distance rehabbing and are now spread between multiple cities. That said, after about $14,000 in foundation work and a full cosmetic make-over, this 80 […]
