Alright, ladies, I got a treat for you today.
-We're going to Bushnell. -Bushnell?
We're going to Bushnell, Florida.
-Bushnell! -[Dolmar] Yeah.
That's like an hour north of Tampa.
It is.
[Dolmar] Bushnell, Florida, is a quaint
and picturesque community
located in the heart of Sumter County.
The town is surrounded by scenic countryside,
perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking and fishing.
Just an hour north of Tampa and an hour west of Orlando,
Bushnell is an ideal place for those seeking tranquility
without being too far from urban amenities.
Let me tell you about the deal.
This is a deal that came from Anthony, our GC.
-Oh, Anthony. -Yeah. He lives in that area.
So, this is a house he bought.
And he called me because he was like "Dolmar,
I've got all these new construction projects going on,
I'm spread thin."
He wanted to bring in a partner.
So, "Why don't you take a look at this house
and see if it's something we can team up on together."
Anthony bought it for $26,000.
$26,000? Wait.
That's almost like just for the land.
Exactly.
If we like it,
we will bring in the renovation funds,
and Anthony will take care of the labor,
and we'll split the profits at the end
after we each recoup our initial investments.
-Okay. -Alright?
So that's basically the deal. But it is a small house.
-How many bedrooms, bathrooms? -It's a two bedroom, one bath.
-How big is this house? -It's 700-something square feet.
Yeah, it's a two-one, 700-something-square-foot house.
Oh, you know I love small houses.
That's my thing.
Why don't you run the comps on this one real fast
and tell me what you are seeing.
Because I have a feeling the comps are pretty good,
and there's a potential
for a nice profit and spread here.
I ran some brief numbers, based on the address.
And, I mean, things are selling around 180-ish, like that range.
-Really? -For two-ones.
That size house?
[Keisha] Yeah. That is a big spread.
Look at some of these cute houses out here.
This is the country living, right?
Alright, we are around the corner, based on this GPS.
-We're one minute away. -One minute.
Here... Is this the road?
Where's the road? I don't see a road.
[Amanda] This is a dirt road.
[Dolmar] I know. This is what the GPS says.
All I see are trees.
-[Dolmar] So, it's off the... -[Keisha] The main road.
Is it off the grid? My goodness.
[Dolmar] Yep, so this house is in the cut. Oh, wow.
-That... -That is not the house.
...is not a house, Dolmar.
[Keisha] Can we even drive up here?
[Dolmar] This is "Zombie House Flipping: Tampa."
[Dolmar] Anthony!
-Hey, what's up, guys? -I didn't know this was a shell.
[Keisha] You're freaking us out a little bit here, Anthony.
This is not even a zombie. It's completely dead.
[Keisha] This explains your purchase price.
-[Dolmar] It's a shell. -Yeah, it's a blank slate.
Let's tour this house
and see what blank canvas we are looking at.
[Dolmar] This tiny 720-square-foot,
two-bedroom, one-bath block home,
is a shell of it's former self,
with an exposed and rotted living room,
kitchen and carport, that leaves a lot to be desired.
[Amanda] The front porch has rotted wood all over.
-[Dolmar] Window's open. -[Keisha] Really, Dolmar?
[Amanda] Speaking of windows, we definitely need new ones.
-[Keisha] Look at this door. -"Sorry, we're closed."
Oh, my.
[Amanda] This is one hell of a entrance.
[Keisha] All of this framing is completely rotted.
It's all gonna have to go. Walking in from the front door,
we're obviously landing here in the living room.
-[Dolmar] Yeah. -[Keisha] This is really, really, really bad.
These floors have been here before I was even born.
[Keisha] Look at all this rotten wood.
-[Amanda] Everything is rotted. -[Keisha] Mildewy.
[Dolmar] How long do you think it was vacant for?
[Anthony] 40, 50 years.
[Keisha] Well, considering how long it's been,
I'm concerned that we'll have to replace the entire roof.
Actually, we don't have to replace all the trusses.
We can rebuild the ones that are bad.
Some of 'em are still in great shape.
That's actually a great point and great savings.
[Amanda] Speaking of savings,
are we keeping the same floor plan?
-[Anthony] Yeah. -Okay.
-It's gonna stay as a two-one. -Yep.
Okay. The room behind you, what's that?
It looks like a kitchen.
[Amanda] I see super, super old plumbing.
It's tight. It's a tiny kitchen.
Super tight.
'Cause right now, the way it's set up,
it's almost like a little kitchenette.
Once the drywall and all the good stuff comes up,
then this space is gonna get even smaller.
Yeah.
Anthony -- and you two are standing,
like, to an exterior door.
We should block that off,
and then we could have a bigger kitchen in here.
You mean for more cabinets and stuff?
[Amanda] Right.
[Dolmar] I don't see space for eating, though.
This is already a tiny kitchen.
Like, to put another table in here is gonna make it really...
-[Keisha] Yeah. -...claustrophobic.
[Amanda] We could take this wall out
and then make that like a peninsula.
-So this is the bathroom, then. -Okay.
Alright, well, I mean, I'll do like a real quick...cut.
[Dolmar laughing]
Yeah. Look at -- all this wood needs to come down.
How low was the tub? Look at how low this fixture is.
[Amanda] I think you had to lay down and then take a shower.
Wow, alright.
So, I don't like the location of this stuff.
The tub's here.
It looks like it was tub, vanity, toilet,
when it should be...
-Vanity over there. Toilet. -Right.
-Let's take a look at that bedroom over there. -Alright.
[Keisha] Bedroom number one.
Why is there the electrical panel in the closet?
[Anthony] That was allowed.
At the time they did that, that was --
that was how they did it, and it was allowed.
Now it's not allowed.
So we would need to definitely move that and replace that.
That thing is totally rusted and just not working, clearly.
What is this?
That is a gas pipe.
-A gas pipe? -In the bedroom?
Okay, so let's not kick it, Dolmar.
-Can you please -- okay. -Let's not turn it on.
What are you doing?
He's like a little kid. You got to rein him in sometimes.
-Boom! Let's go. -That might be a positive.
-[Amanda] Oh, jeez. -Oh, my goodness.
-Anthony, really? -Less demo.
[Keisha] Oh, my goodness.
The second bedroom.
Might as well just walk right through the wall.
It looks like it's about the same size.
Right. And the layout looks the same as the other bedroom.
-Yeah, just opposite. -Yep.
And you have the closet on that side.
[Dolmar] So, I mean, that's pretty much it for the house.
Let's go outside, take a look.
[Amanda] Look at all the garbage back here!
[Dolmar] What is this thing?
[Anthony] This is an old antenna,
and that's an old antenna.
Okay, so we're gonna have to pull this up, both of 'em.
[Anthony] Yeah.
I'm not liking how we can see
the mobile home that's next door.
[Dolmar] Yeah, there are mobile homes on either side.
-On both sides. -And they're not in great shape either.
I mean, you know me and fences.
[Dolmar] Yeah, it's a lot of property to put a fence up.
[Keisha] This whole project could get really pricey.
It's basically a shell of a house
that we have to do from scratch.
So I'm a little nervous.
Anthony bought the house for 26,000.
We don't have to spend that, right?
And we'll be able to sell this thing at least 180,000.
So there's still a huge spread there,
but we have to make sure our numbers are right
for the reno budget.
I agree with that. Anthony, what are you thinking?
I'm thinking 70, realistically.
That leaves enough room for contingencies.
So purchase price of 26,000.
$70,000 renovation budget.
180,000 potential resale.
-Maybe even 200,000. -[Keisha] Yep.
That's a good spread, guys.
While it might seem like I'm providing more
of a financial investment in this deal,
Anthony and his team
are providing their contractor expertise and labor
as part of this deal.
Normally on a job,
I would have to hire Anthony to oversee the project
and also pay his crew.
But the way this deal is structured,
with Anthony contributing the labor,
it allows my renovation budget to go a lot further.
After Anthony's initial investment
and my renovation budget is recouped,
we will split the profits 50/50.
Anthony was able to purchase this zombie at land value
at $26,000.
My part of the partnership will be paid for the reno,
which we basically have to start from scratch.
So we've got $70,000 to reframe, build a new roof,
put in a new septic tank, and more.
Agent fees will come in at around $8,100.
Since it's a small house
it won't take very long to renovate,
so the loan interest will be $1,920.
That's a combined total of $106,020
to turn this thing around.
Keisha estimates
that we've got a potential sales price of $180,000.
After we each recoup our expenses,
we will split the remaining profit of $73,980 between us.
Although this might have looked hopeless to someone else,
for the zombie team it's just another day on the job.
50 years of exposure to the elements
have left this house completely dilapidated.
So we have to start from scratch to revive this zombie.
Throughout the house,
slate gray tile will line the floors
to bring it into the 21st century.
The bathroom will get new tile flooring,
as well as shower tile.
The toilet, vanity and shower tub
will be rearranged to create a more cohesive look.
We'll also close up the unnecessary second door
in the living room to create a larger, more functional space.
Since the kitchen is lacking in space,
we'll wall up the door leading to the carport
to create more space for cabinet storage.
Navy blue cabinets will go up with a colorful back splash,
as well as brand-new appliances.
In order to make room for seating space,
we'll knock down the wall to create an eat-in kitchen.

It looks like you were able to salvage a lot of the wood.
Yeah. We're gonna be able to salvage it.
Or at least salvage the trusses.
It's gonna take a lot of wood to rebuild 'em, but...
I did not think we would be able to do that.
If you look over here,
we're tying new yellow pine into the old stuff and rebuilding it.
And then we'll go back with lag bolts to secure it.
This saves a lot of time and money.

-[Keisha] Hey, hey. -Hey!
-How are you? -What's up, Panda.
-Good. -Hi!
I went to the big-box store and picked up
three different selections of gray tile for flooring.
-Ooh. -Okay.
'Cause I know we're on a tight budget for this one.
So these are all less than $2 a square foot.
[Keisha] I like it.
Which one are you leaning towards?
-'Cause I like them all. -These are my top three.
So you guys get to choose.
Are you thinking about this for the flooring
throughout the whole house or just the bathrooms,
or, like, what are you thinking?
How small is the house again? Less than 700?
-[Keisha] Yeah, it's small. -Yeah.
It's best just to keep the floor same throughout.
That way there's no divisions in the lines,
and it makes the place look bigger than what it is.
I'm leaning towards this one. I like this one.
And then what do you like?
I like this one and then also the top.
All of them are really nice pieces,
and I love that you chose gray
because the lighter color palette
I think goes good with the neighborhood too.
You know, it's more like a country vibe.
So neutrals really come into play.
Yeah, I mean, you know, we're flipping houses,
so we have to make sure we don't,
you know, omit some buyers.
But with this gray tile throughout,
it's easy for any buyer to work with.
Yes.
Now, I know grays can get a little bit boring, right?
But I was thinking we bring navy blue kitchen cabinets,
like on the darker side.
-I like that. -So this kind of flooring.
That would be very pretty.
And then this would be like the backsplash.
-We've got a pop of white. -Ooh. I love it.
-Against the navy blue, right? -Mm-hmm.
So if we did, like, gray, and then the pop of blue
will be the thing that brings in the buyer.
[Dolmar] Yeah. I like it.
Everything is within budget, it sounds like.
-Yes. -So I'm with it.
-[Amanda] Okay, yeah. -It's called Blueberry Pie.
So I like, this house being in the country,
going to grandma's house to have...
[Amanda] Blueberry pie. Yes!
-Yeah. -Okay.
Seeing these next to each other, I like that.
[Amanda] You like it.
With Keisha juggling contractor schedules
on so many of our houses and managing budgets
and also helping us to sell houses,
I think the least that I could do is at least buy cabinets.
You know, I am the dealmaker after all,

Oh! Thanks, babe.
I got you, babe.
I just need measurements.
-I can get that from Anthony. -Yeah.
And I'll get on top of ordering the cabinets.
Yeah, 'cause, once a buyer walks through that front door
and sees that pop of blue in the kitchen,
'cause the kitchen's right there,
they're going to absolutely fall in the love with the space.
-Oh, they will. -Let's make it pop!

So, what's next steps?
Like, what do I need to get started on ordering, or...
-We need appliances. -Okay.

[Dolmar] In the backyard,
an excavator digs into the ground outside the house

Then the tank is slowly lowered in.
A few coatings of stucco create an even surface

Inside, our crew gets started putting up drywall
throughout the house and mudding.
After weeks of nonstop work,
a lot of progress has been made on the house.
Big-ticket items have already gotten done,
such as the plumbing, septic, and stucco,
so we're currently about 80% into our budget at $57,800.

Hey. What is up with these cabinets?
I forgot to tell you about that.
Why aren't these navy blue?
We tried to keep the design that you wanted, but we couldn't

they are on back order.
Like, we would have to wait almost two months
just for those cabinets, those specific ones.
I don't wanna crush your design heart.
My hands were tied. And so we went with these.
Okay, but where was the phone call to me

so that I could pivot the design?
Because the navy blue cabinets was supposed
to be the pop of color in the house.
And now we have everything just so neutral.
There's nothing in here.
I forgot to call you.
I apologize. I'm sorry. That's on me.
But I do think that these cabinets can still work.
[Amanda] I mean, yeah, they could work.
So, let's pivot and then change the flooring.
We could do something else with the flooring, right?
Um, picked it up already.
You've picked up the tile already?
Yes.
-What about the bathroom tile? -That too.
Kitchen backsplash?
-We can do the backsplash. -Oh, you haven't picked that up?
Okay, so then we could still bring in color in this kitchen

[Amanda] Since my original plan for the kitchen
doesn't work without the navy blue cabinets,
we're at the tile store
to pick out some colorful backsplash
to go with those white cabinets.
I really want to bring something fun into the mix,
so I'm excited to look around.
Hopefully, Dolmar doesn't interfere in this excitement
with budget talk.
-So let's have some fun. -Are we all picking something?
Yeah, we'll meet at the table over there
and discuss what we've chosen.
There's no prices on anything.
[Keisha laughs]
I need the clearance section.
Oh, look at that.
[Keisha] Gorgeous.
Look! My colors!
Bring it to the table, and let's talk about it.
-Oh, my goodness. -I'm not picking this.
I just like it 'cause it's red.
[Keisha] [laughs] Right.
-[Dolmar] This looks good. -[Keisha] Oh, these are beautiful.
[Amanda] Pick whatever you want.
♪ Yeah
Nice.
-[Dolmar] Wow. -Look at all the things.
[Keisha] I love this look, I love this look.
-This one, eh. -You chose them.
I know. But...
-And look at your one. -You got one?
-Yeah, it's beautiful. -[Amanda] It is beautiful.
-[Dolmar] Thank you. -[Keisha] I love it.
This is an opportunity to bring in warmth
by adding wood in the backsplash.
Kitchen backsplash. That would be dope.
Why don't these have prices?
I could see the concern in his face.
To save on costs, we'll go with your idea.
Okay? We'll go --
We got the large format tile
that's something with a bit more color than these.
-Yeah, sounds good. -Alright.
[Amanda] With the kitchen cabinets
and countertops in place,
our crew can get started laying the floor tile.
Since it's a light-hue, large-format tile,
we kept it the same throughout the kitchen,
living room, and the rest of the rooms
to keep the flow throughout the house cohesive.
When you have a house with such a small footprint like this one,
you want to do everything you can to make it appear larger.
In the bathroom, we stuck the large-format style
and used a modern taupe tile laid vertically,
to create a spa-like feel.
And in the kitchen, without the original blue cabinets,
I had to change up the backsplash idea,
so I went with a muted blue horizontal tile
to add a little pop of color to the kitchen.
Outside, I got to add a real pop of color.
Although I didn't get my blue cabinets,
the exterior of the house is painted with a lovely soft blue
with cream trim around the windows,
gable wall, and columns.
That's a pretty sweet deal in my books.
♪
-[Keisha] Hi, babe. -[Dolmar] Hey, babe.
Um, I'm at the house in Bushnell.
And didn't you send me a picture
of the appliances on the porch?
Yeah, yeah. I got the picture.
I sent it to you this morning.
Yeah, well, I'm here now,
and there's no appliances here at all.
I can literally walk the entire porch.
-There's nothing here. -Well, did you look everywhere?
'Cause I definitely know that they were delivered.
Yeah, I don't see 'em anywhere.
-Alright. -I'll look around again.
Okay, it's fine. I'm on my way there.
I'm literally around the corner,
so I'll just help you look in a couple of seconds.
-Alright. -Alright, babe. Bye.
Dolmar called me saying that the appliances are missing.
But the delivery company just sent me a photo of them
arriving at the house this morning.
What is going on here?
-Hey. -Babe.
-There's no appliances. -Did you look around the corner?
Of course I looked around the corner.
I looked around that corner too, and the back of the house.
They have to be here.
[Dolmar] This is the picture you sent me, right?
-Yeah. There they are. -So I'm not crazy?
[Keisha] No. They are there.
I'm kind of freaking out because I haven't found them anywhere.
If someone actually stole these appliances,
we're talking about thousands of dollars down the drain,
not to mention the additional downtime
waiting for new appliances.
This could be thousands of dollars
cutting into our bottom line, and we cannot allow that.
I looked in the house. They're not installed.
There's no appliances in the house at all. They're gone.
-That's $3,000 just gone. -Where do you think they went?
I mean, they have to be somewhere.
They're somewhere around here. They were delivered.
Somebody stole them.
[Dolmar] I looked in the house. They're not installed.
There's no appliances in the house at all. They're gone.
That's $3,000 just gone.
I mean, they have to be somewhere.
They're somewhere around here 'cause they were delivered.
Somebody stole them.
Porch pirates stealing appliances,
it's a thing in Tampa, but Bushnell?
I don't think so. I think that's a reach.
What are you talking about?
Babe, porch pirates are not exclusive to just Tampa.
They're everywhere. It can absolutely happen.
It's in the middle of the country.
And it could absolutely happen there too.
Call David and figure out what's going on.
[line ringing]
-[David] Hello. -Hey, David.
Yeah.
Hey, I'm at the house, and we were expecting a delivery.
I came to go put 'em in the house, and they're not here.
I think someone stole them.
David, have you seen the appliances, honey?
-Yes. -What do you mean?
No, I put 'em in storage
'cause I wasn't ready for them to go inside yet.
Sorry I didn't let you know sooner.
-Talk to you later. -Thank you, David.
-Thanks, David. -Why you all do this to me?
♪
[Keisha] David was able to get the appliances back to the house
and is installing the dishwasher
and the glass-top electric range.
Outside, we're making some last-minute touch-ups
to the exterior paint
and sealing the window sills with caulk.
Then they're pouring the concrete driveway into a form
made of two-by-fours.
The form stops the concrete from spilling everywhere,
and ensures the concrete will take the shape you want.
And now that the concrete's in place, they're leveling it off,
or screeding, the concrete.
This way the concrete is flat and smooth
and any gaps are filled in.
Then it's just a lot more pouring and leveling,
leveling and pouring.
After the concrete is hardened, Anthony gets rid of any debris
and large rocks with the skid steer
and levels the dirt in the front yard,
getting everything ready for sod and seed.
Back inside, David tackles a key project --
Putting in the new water heater.
He positions the new unit into the closet,
and he checks to make sure
that the water heater is venting properly.

[Keisha] Amanda picked out
a surprise element for the living room
that will really add some character to the space.
After marking the wall and opening his cut
and the necessary electrical connections are hooked up,
now the new fireplace comes to life
and we've got a new, inviting feature to welcome in buyers.
♪
Like any decor, lighting is essential for ambiance.
And these contemporary outdoor wall sconces are just the thing
to make for an inviting front walkway.
Finally, it's time for some last-minute paint touch-ups
throughout the house
to really put some shine on this finished home.
And now that everything is done inside and out,
it's time to stage this zombie.
With this being such a small house,
staging is crucial
for the buyer to visualize our house's potential.
And that's why we teamed up with a staging company,
because they're just so good at bringing our homes back to life.
♪
-Wow!
-Oh, my goodness. -Hey.
Look at how cute this is!
When we first drove up here, it looked like a tool shed
with no color, no curb appeal,
and it looked like it was just left for dead.
But now it actually looks like a house.
[Dolmar] Yeah.
[Keisha] We stuccoed the whole house
and painted it this super-inviting blue
with cream trim.
Brand-new windows, brand-new sod,
brand-new driveway.
-[Amanda] Yeah. -No more dirt.
No more dirt.
[Dolmar] It looks so good.
You could park all kinds of vehicles.
[Dolmar] Yeah, I was just gonna mention that.
All this space back here for ATVs, RVs, trucks, boats.
It definitely looks much better.
Before, we didn't have a roof. Remember that?
But now we have a brand-new metal roof.
[Amanda] Yeah. That metal roof is golden.
Especially with all the hurricanes.
They can withstand anything.
[Dolmar] We even added a carport.
[Keisha] Wow. Look at this transformation.
[Amanda] We did give this a nice little facelift.
Beautiful! It's basically a brand-new house, guys.
I can't wait to see what it looks like inside
with all the staging.
Yeah. Let's go look at what it looks like.
Oh! Oh, my goodness!
[Amanda] It's so cute!
Look at this place.
-It's so cute. -And cozy and quaint.
[Dolmar] Let's go inside.
Oh, my goodness! Look at how cute this is!
[Amanda] Before, this whole kitchen area
didn't even look like a kitchen.
All we saw was exposed plumbing.
Especially with the unnecessary door,
this space was already so tiny,
so we didn't have a lot of room to work with.
But now, putting a wall up, we have a space for a refrigerator,
and even more storage on top.
And what I love the most about this kitchen,
we have two windows,
and it brings a lot of the natural light,
making this kitchen feel even bigger than what it is.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
[Amanda] And with this wall splitting the kitchen
from the living room,
there was no room for sitting at all.
We took that down, turned it into a peninsular,
and it added additional seating for the small space.
And I didn't think we'd be able to fit really
any seating at this kitchen in this small house.
We were talking about 600-square-foot house.
And we didn't add any additional square footage,
yet we're able to maximize the square footage that we do have.
We were working with a completely blank slate.
So now we've got brand-new appliances, new fixtures,
a new sink, cabinets.
A brand-new kitchen.
[Dolmar] We even squeezed a dishwasher in here still.
I know there was a lot of mishaps with this kitchen.
Right? Some of that was partly my fault.
-Oh, yeah. -But look!
It all came together beautifully
like I knew it would.
Ah, yes.
It wasn't the navy blue cabinets I was looking for.
But above all else, it's about function.
-And it still looks amazing. -Exactly.
[Keisha] Speaking of function,
when we first walked in here,
the only thing on the ground was dirt, dirt, and more dirt.
Now...
[Dolmar] It looks really nice.
[Keisha] ...we have brand-new flooring,
and it flows all the way to the living room.
The buyer's gonna love it.
[Amanda] It's such a small space,
doing one flooring in the whole entire house
was the way to do it.
It makes the space look even bigger.
[Dolmar] It's so crazy because this was the core section
that was really destroyed in this house.
We walked in here, and it was wet everywhere.
Completely rotted wood.
I mean, honestly, it almost did not look salvageable.
But thanks to our team and Anthony's hard work,
I really, really like this space.
We have brand-new drywall.
We mudded, textured, painted, putting new tile in,
light fixtures -- even this gorgeous built-in fireplace.
All in all, we essentially built a brand-new house.
It feels really cozy to me, especially the fireplace.
-[Keisha] This is a great element here. -[Dolmar] Yeah.
I thought, you know, for this little tiny space,
having this fireplace was an added element,
visually and functionally.
[Keisha] Yeah. I think it was an excellent choice.
Well, it definitely makes the space feel comfortable.
Great, great, great addition.
The biggest thing that we had to tackle
was this bathroom layout.
I want to see how that came out.
Ahh.
[Amanda] Remember this whole bathroom layout was
extremely wonky and confusing?
The toilet, vanity, and tub placements
did not function or flow well
and made the bathroom feel even smaller than it actually was.
But look at it now, completely redone.
We have new tile floors,
modern shower-wall tiling, all black fixtures,
and a contemporary vanity, toilet, and tub.
It really doesn't get better than this.
-And I really love this. -Yes.
The linen closet that used to be here,
we really didn't have room for it in the bathroom itself,
but we didn't want to lose that great closet space.
So we moved it over to the hallway.
Now we can do stackable washer and dryer,
which adds function to this 700-square-foot home.
The buyers are gonna absolutely love that.
Oh, they're gonna love it.
'Cause we didn't have a washer and dryer hook-up
in this house before.
-We didn't. -No, so that's a huge selling point.
Yeah, and being able to use the existing square footage
and still fit all of this in that space I think was genius.
-Yes. Every inch counts. -It sure does.
Oh, yeah. Let's go to the bedroom.
-Alright. -Oh!
[Dolmar] Remember before,
this was just a shell, filled with rotted framing.
But now it's a large gorgeous bedroom.
It actually turned out to be a pretty big bedroom
for a house this size.
We also increased the size of the closets
in order to match my storage space as much as possible.
-It's looking nice. -Yeah.
Let's go look at the other bedroom.
-Bedroom two. -Ah!
Alright.
[Keisha] I remember in this room,
we had that electrical panel in the closet,
just falling off the wall.
It was old, rusty, didn't work.
Didn't know what to make of this whole space.
But we moved the electrical panel outside,
we moved the closet to the opposite wall,
added new framing, built up new walls,
and totally transformed this
into a spectacular second bedroom.
The zombie rose from the dead.
[Dolmar] Literally. Let's get this house listed.
And sold.
We are going list this house for $199,000.
Anthony's original purchase price was $26,000.
Our renovation expenses came in at $65,140,
which is a bit less than we expected.
Agent fees, closing costs come in at $8,955.
And our loan interest is $1,823.
After we've each recouped our expenses,
we should walk away with a total profit of $97,082,
which we will split with Anthony,
meaning we will each make a profit of $48,541.
Now, that's what I call a sweet deal.
-Hey! -Hey, guys.
-Hey! -How are you, Anthony?
What's up, Anthony?
We just got finished touring the house.
-Yeah, you like it? -Love it.
I love the staging. Did a great job, yeah.
[Keisha] I think it really enhanced this house.
The house turned out really good.
Your craftmanship is so good.
-Spot on. -[Anthony] Thank you.
[Dolmar] I love this partnership, by the way.
-Let's do more of these. -I like it.
So let's get this deal wrapped up.
I know our original budget was 70,000, so we came under.
-Which I love. -Which is great.
Well, let's go back to the office
and run some numbers and see what number we can come up with.
-Sounds good. Alright. -Cool.
-Thank you, Anthony. -Alright, take care, guys.
-Appreciate you. -Bye.
