Happy Dance!

Hello to all the Flipping Mobile followers! Got some great news to share with you! Shortly after my last blog post, Sugar Pine went under contract!! Let me tell you how strange it all went down...The showing resulting with an offer was our FIRST showing, on a RAINY day, after only 20 DAYS on the market, 2 weeks before CHRISTMAS, and locked in at only $1,500 under list price. Isn't that awesome???! Happy dance! Closing is scheduled for late January...prayers sent that this won't be extended any longer than that. We could really stand to get paid since it's been 6 months since our last closing!

We have started seeing Deerwood come together...and I am really getting excited about the product we are going to deliver. All new kitchen cabinets, all new flooring, all new granite, all new paint, all new stainless appliances, all new light fixtures, and the list goes on. We also changed the layout completely to accomplish a more "open" floor plan. Knocked a few walls down here and put up a few there. Here's a few pics of some work we accomplished over the past few weeks...these are not completely up to date - all interior painting is now done and the majority of wood flooring throughout the living and dining room has been laid...

There used to be a wall here. Cabs/granite/tile...check.

Fireplace to be a showstopper when complete.

Wall added where door is...another wall torn down where couch is...

Vanity & walls being painted. Granite, tile...check.

Master bath...

Kitchen view into new open floor plan!

One fun project was turning outdated brass knobs to more updated, oil rubbed bronze knobs. They look a thousand times better than before and it saved lots of $$$ not replacing them, especially since they were all already functional!

Yay for fun projects that pack a big punch!

Wood flooring going in...

Gonna try to knock out the rest of the wood flooring before leaving for Houston again because...it's Christmas time, y'all! Exited to spend a few days celebrating with the fam. Until we speak again, "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night"! :)

I'm backkkk!

Hello all! I obviously took a bit of a break from the blog after our Sugar Pine Challenge. Dave and I went on a wonderful 10 day vacation to Houston after finishing little Sugar Pine on Day 41. We got a chance to relax and clear our heads of all things work! You can view the final "after" pics HERE on our Facebook page...

So far we have not had any showings in the 17 days it's been on the market. From talking to some other investors, we are realizing that the market has slowed a bit...the holidays, election, etc. may be playing a part. It's so frustrating that variables such as these can affect what would otherwise be a quick sale. Great property, great location, outstanding price...stupid variables always mess things up! It's so hard being patient - but it IS a virtue...and I do want to be a virtuous woman - and investor :)

Since vacay, we have been plugging away at Deerwood. Got the new kitchen cabinets and granite installed as well as a good bit of the interior painting done. I will be posting pics of our progress along the way!

I'll sign off now with a few pics from our trip! Thanks for a great time, fam! :)

Love these ladies!

Fun day at the lake...Dave schooling us on how to skip rocks!

Got to partake in decorating the Christmas tree with these beautiful people!

Fave :)

Swing set timeeeee!

Snap back to reality...where coffee is our friend and long days are the norm! Excited to get another property done and be one day closer to the closing table...

All set up for a long stretch of flippin' ahead!
