This winter Cahl and I were presented with an opportunity to invest in a little house in Nampa, to fix up and flip. The house was built in 1907, and was currently occupied by some very dirty hoarders, so we knew it was going to be a lot of work. We completely redid all the flooring, moved and painted the kitchen cabinets, replumbed the whole house, rebuilt some stairs, put in all new light fixtures and fans, moved the laundry room, built a brand new bathroom and walk in closet, redid the existing bathroom, put in new windows, painted inside and out, put up new porch railings, installed new appliances, put in new garage doors and painted the garage. It turned out to be much more work than we had imagined, but after 4 months and hundreds of hours, our little house was done and ready for some new owners! We put in on the market on a Thursday, and by Sunday we had 8 offers. We accepted a VA offer well over asking price, and we are thrilled with how everything worked out! It's definitely something we want to do again, just not for a little while!
