You, guys, deed a terrific job. A lot of sweat in it. Good you are pulling it off. Is sweat equity sweet?

Hopefully you will find a buyer quick!  It looks great.

Looks really nice.  I was just thinking about investing in a home in Michigan in order to flip (or rent it out).  There's a lot of mold through the first floor and basement though, so wonder how much it will truely cost to redo.... Will take a few contractors out there.  Fingers crossed, to get it at the right price to start!

Makes me want to another one soon. Good job, keep at it. Looks like you should have a buyer soon.

Jim,  This house looks like it is going to make some family a really nice home.  I can see from the picture you are doing a thorough job.  Good luck and keep flipping.

Jim it is starting to look good!  And Congratulations, this post will be featured in "J" Group!

We are about to start our second flip.  Jay & I are full time Realtors as well and we enjoy flips.  The one suggestion i would give you is not to be afraid of color in the kitchen or living room.  Even if you paint just one room a different color its more inviting.  We used "Silver Sage" by restoration hardware, then we were able to use the brand name in our marketing comments.  We received 2 offers the first 2 two weeks on the market.

The rest of the house was neutral.  We try to stay away from "house flipper tan"

Aren't you still safe with the classic look of "Classic Taupe"?  I do like the sage colors, and other neutral tones but I am always amazed when people say "I don't like that gray" or "I don't like that burnt orange".  I like entirely too many colors, apparently.   

I've seen a kitchen painted with kind of a burnished red, and it looked marvelous.   

The process looks very good.  Looks like your putting a lot of effort into it.  Good job.

Jim - Very nice job.  We just finished our 5th and are starting the 6th in about 2 weeks.  It gets addicitive!

The outside looks great...and the inside is coming a long....looks like it will be a great flip.  The attention to detail shows!

Andrew - have you seen the IKEA commercial..."Be Brave not Beige"?    There's a happy medium between safe and designer colors.  It works for us.  We have sold 2 of our personal properties and 1 flip with some charm and designer colors throughout.  

Whats your asking price?

It looks like a dollhouse on the outside! I can't wait to hear the blog announcing it was sold!  House-flipper tan? That's true and funny.

Jim, the exterior looks like a great job and inside looks like it's coming along nicely.  Best wishes and much success on the completion.

Jim - The house is looking good.  Love the outside.  Can't wait to see the finished product.

HI Jim,

Will you use a home stager when you are ready to put the property on the market?

Looks good so far.  Just a few more finishing touches.

very nice!  How much did the cabinets cost?

Great time to work flips. Good job.

I am back in the game myself. It is so satifying to  finish a successful flip, you feel like you are on top of the world.

Jim...unbeliveable job!  Congratulations!  Reminds me of some flips some of my clients have done but they went overboard in relation to what they paid.  I'm a firm believer in making a budget from the beginning and sticking to it.  I hope you make a killing because you're quality looks like a work of art!

Jim,  Congratulations on nearing completion of your first flip.  My partners and I have bought 5 properties together so far. But rather than flip any of them, we've been renting them.  You might want to consider keeping a few down the road once you've made some money on a few flips...  Mike

I love older houses that have been updated, so your gets an A+ from me. Glad to hear that staging will be part of your marketing plan! I just met with a "flipper" that has completed a similar project and is convinced that staging will be an important part of marketing the property...Another smart investor!  

Nicely done and proof that you can still make money in real estate in any market.  The key is buying well, working fast and pricing realistically.  Well done!

Are you going to stage your property? The reno's look great and the property deserves a homey touch!

You are at the point where you need a new project! Finish that baby, get it on the market and keep the momentum going! If you always have a house in escrow, in process, and for sale you can make it a HUGE business! Good luck selling that beautiful home!

Great looking house for your first flip.  I am interested in getting into flipping property.  What do you anticipate to be your net return on your investment?

Hi Jim, I hope you make a lot of money. You guys did a great job with the house.

Jim-I love to do flips, be doing them for years.   Something about just taking a UGLY house and making it in to a home (for someone)  Your flip looks good.....one suggestion you may think about is a crown molding on the cabinet tops, it really ties the cabinets together and adds the "custom" touch. 

Jim-Great job!  That house will sell very quickly, you have done an outstanding job

It's looking great I hope that it sells quickly for you.

Jim - really nice job. It looks terrific. It is so satisfying to bring a house back to life isn't it? I recently staged a flip and the seller got 4 offers in for weeks. I was thrilled. I love staging flips. Good luck for a quick and profitable sale.

Jim, it looks great. I think that your filling an important area in the RE industry as many of these older homes need to be updated. Keep up the hard work!

Hey Jim.  Fantastic job on the improvements!  You picked a real winner with excellent curb apeal. 

One suggestion to consider is adding a swing to the porch.   It is a nice touch and doesn't cost very much.  

I hope you do well with selling it quickly. 

Jm the house looks great but where are the before pictures thats always my favorite to see how far a property has changed and what a little paint can do to a house.

It looks good! Did you stage it?

Looks really nice so great work.  Hopefully it is done by the time I have written this and would love to see finished product photos.

Still waiting to see the finished product.
