Our First Flip?!?!

Many of you that have followed us for the past several years know that we fixed up our first house and converted a 100 year old church into our second home. Well, now we've decided to try our hand at "flipping" a house for the purpose of making a profit.

Last month we purchased a house at sheriff's sale and have all but completed it as of yesterday. With the exception of the carpet (which we had Lowe's install), we were able to complete all of the work ourselves in just under 5 weeks. While still managing to keep our other obligations afloat, we flew through this project (faster than we'll likely do any future flips).

It's on the market, and the ad reads as follows:

"House For Sale By Owner - $99,900

713 Brazos Trail, Lafayette, IN 47909
(off of South 9th St. in Rolling Hills)

This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with a full 2-car garage has been completely refinished and is move-in ready. With nearly 1150 square feet and a nice-sized mature lot, this is a great family home with something for everybody. Recent updates include:
Brand new kitchen with granite counters, ceramic tile, & stainless appliances
New vanities, ceramic tile, and lighting in both bathrooms
New paint, carpet, blinds, and ceiling fans throughout

Near Wea Ridge and McCutcheon schools, this house also has central air conditioning, natural gas heat, a washer / dryer included, and automatic garage door opener as well as a few other bonuses. For more information or to schedule a showing, please contact us at 765-430-4102 or info@tippyvss.com"

The fun part is looking at the pictures...both before and after. Below are some of them that we took...the first four kind of show the condition when we bought it.
