This rehab was so much fun! This beautiful home in Garden City was a literal hot mess when we purchased it. The layout needed to be addressed, as the bathroom was originally off of the kitchen, and the upstairs didn’t function well. We were able to switch things up a bit, and now it’s beautiful and ready to be listed for sale! We are always looking for more houses to buy, so please reach out if you have something!

This project was fun! A large, 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house that needed to be stripped down before being put back together. When a house is in such disarray, and so cluttered, it’s often difficult to see past all of that and be able to envision what it could be. Luckily, we have learned how to hone that skill over the years, so when we originally walked this home, we knew we could make it spectacular! Some lucky buyer is going to love their new home. Hits the market this weekend! Here are a few before and after pics.

This sale in Garden City was brought to us by a wholesaler who we have bought many houses from. The sellers reached out to him to help sell the home, and he then finds an investor to purchase the property. The couple who owned the home had lived there for decades, raising their family in it over the years. As time passed, the house filled up....

We have been busy! A landlord was looking to sell four of his homes, as he had moved out of state a few years ago, and wanted to use the proceeds from selling these homes to invest in the area he is currently living in. Working with this seller proved to be a seamless process; we got to the closing table on time, and with no major hiccups!...

Often, there are homes available for sale that are not listed in a traditional manner. These are usually homeowners who have decided to sell their homes directly to an investor, without having showings, dealing with realtors or commissions, or for a variety of other possible reasons. We purchase many homes this way. This particular home was slightly different, because another investor held the contract....

We recently purchased this home in Lincoln Park from a friend of a friend. At this point, most of our family and friends know that we “do real estate”, and that we buy houses ourselves. We are always humbled and grateful when someone refers us to help one of their loved ones. Having recently lost Tara’s father unexpectedly (almost 3 years ago), it always hits us hard when we are contacted by a seller who is calling us because they have lost a parent....

This house was a doozie! Another local investor power couple brought this one to us, as it didn’t fit their buying criteria at the time. These friends of ours purchase homes the same way we do, often directly from sellers, then fix them up to keep as rentals or to “flip” to a homeowner. They thought we might have interest in this property, and we did!...

Our latest rehab! This Lincoln Park home needed quite a bit of work. Had to pull all of the hardwood, and use oil based kilz on the subfloor to fully get rid of the animal smell. Installed waterproof LVP throughout the main floor. Closed up the wall between the kitchen and living room in order to make a more functional kitchen and add an eat-in dining area. We also used some wasted space in the upstairs bedroom to create a nice, big closet!
