Final Result | Whittier flip

Not exactly the outcome I was hoping for when I bought this Whittier investment property, but that’s the reality of real estate investing.

There’s a lot of glamour around house flipping and real estate online, but the challenges, unexpected costs, market conditions, and deals that don’t go exactly as planned don’t always get shared.

That’s why I wanted to document this entire project. Not just the before and after, but the real numbers, the decisions, the mistakes, the challenges, and the lessons that came with it.

My hope is that by following these projects, you can take something away from them and become a better real estate investor, homeowner, or simply more informed buyer.

Huntington Beach Flip | Progress Update

This one has definitely thrown me some challenges, including a stop work order and additional city requirements, even though the original issue was simply a small layout change.

It’s frustrating, but I’m choosing to focus on what I can control. I’m working through the process, getting everything reviewed and approved, and continuing to push the project forward wherever I can.

The timeline has definitely shifted. I’m now targeting Halloween, or at the latest, before Thanksgiving for the finished home.

There’s still a lot of work ahead, but I’m confident this house is going to turn out incredible.

1200 sq/ft Custom ADU 🏠

What started as an empty backyard has turned into a full custom build, and I’m finally getting close to the finish line.

From permits and foundation work to framing, plumbing, electrical, fire sprinklers, roofing, insulation and interior finishes, I’ve been documenting the real process of building a legal ADU in Los Angeles.

I’ll continue sharing the real costs, design decisions, construction process and everything that goes into bringing this project to completion.

45 to 60 days away from seeing this ADU come to life.

This build has definitely cost more than I originally expected and taken a little longer than planned, but that’s part of the process.

I’ll be sharing the next stages, the costs, the design decisions, and everything that goes into taking this from a construction site to a finished home.

Some closings are a little more special than others 🏠

This family came to me after working with another agent for several months. Once I took over, we moved quickly, found the right home, and I was able to negotiate $18,000 in seller credits, along with having their closing costs and lender fees covered.

For first time buyers, that can make a huge difference.

But beyond the numbers, I am most excited about what this home means for their family and what they can build from here. They have plans for an ADU in the future, and I look forward to helping them bring that vision to life when the time comes.

Congratulations to this beautiful family on becoming homeowners. I am grateful I got to be part of the journey. 🏡

Progress Update on Project Huntington Beach 🏠

The biggest challenge with every flip isn’t the demo, it’s deciding where to spend money and where to save it.

I originally planned to vault the ceilings, but after seeing the cost, I chose to invest those dollars into features that I believe will have a bigger impact on value and how the home lives.

The goal:
Keep the construction budget under $160,000 ✅
Be ready to hit the market in October ✅

If you’re buying, expect your agent to:
✔️ Call the listing agent before writing an offer.
✔️ Follow up after the offer is submitted.
✔️ Keep you updated throughout the negotiation.
✔️ Fight for your best interests, not just send an email and hope for the best.

If you’re selling, expect your agent to:
✔️ Confirm every offer is received and presented.
✔️ Follow up with interested buyers.
✔️ Communicate consistently with every agent involved.
✔️ Keep you informed so you can make confident decisions.

Communication isn’t a bonus. It’s one of the most valuable skills your agent can bring to the table.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Hold your agent to a high standard. Your biggest investment deserves nothing less.
