The Little Realtor

Well, I've had a few set backs, including finding out that drywall and interior framing work requires a permit, but the house is almost ready for walls! Here's what we've done so far to get to this point: 1) Electrical has been roughed in! The house is currently totally roughed in for electrical with 200 amps of service and a new panel! Electrician Dimitri Tsikoudis of Accentric Electric will be back to finish when the walls are up and hang all of my pretty lights! 2) Plumbing has been roughed in! Despite plumbing looking like it was half done already (just like the electrical), it had to be completely scrapped thanks to some shoddy work under the previous owners.

2 months ago, almost exactly, I bought my first "flip".  The term "flip" brings to mind a quick renovation in order to churn up some cash, but thats not my goal with this house. Sure, making money on it (or at least breaking even!), is part of the plan, but I am interested in taking the bones of an old, well-made house and making it someone's dream home. For the average buyer I represent, doing extensive renovations isn't in their budget. So my goal is to not only create a home for someone, ready-to-go, but to bring an old home back to life and pay tribute to the original craftmanship.  But enough. Off the soapbox and onto the house!  Its approximately 100 years old, probably a bit older than that. It's around 2000 sq ft, and originally housed 4 -5 bedrooms and 2 full baths.
