RE: The Real House Flip - with @Mattifer

in #diy6 years ago

Am I seeing it right? Does the master bedroom have the walls bolting?

We have a house for sale that we arent even done renovating. It takes so long to do with kids. We are hoping to find people that are willing to finish up the last few cosmetic works. I hope all the renos goes good for you both! A lot of work to do in some areas.

Sort:  

What does it mean to have walls bolting? Is that leaning? If so, it's probably just the way I took the photo that makes it appear so.

I'm sure you will find a buyer willing to finish the work in your place. It'll take a little longer though. I bet home sales are super slow in the winter in Canada.

Best of luck to you!

The walls curving in or out... these ones seem like they are curving out. Perhaps its the picture style.
Home sales are super slow here all the time! Small town population, not much for kids activities. The majority of the population is elderly. 1 gas station that is soon to shut down because the guy should be retiring soon. 1 restaurant with a tiny store inside. No grocery store, everything is at a car travels distance. There are a couple playgrounds for the kids. A community center that no longer services gym activities and skating. A small library at least.

The bonus, lots of places for fishing, small game hunting, the deer are coming back so moose and deer hunting too but still have to travel a tiny bit for good spots. Snowmobiling and quading are at the top of the list for outdoor activities here.

Thank you and the best of luck to you do for the flip and all!

Hmmmm.... that gives me an idea @foxyspirit... Perhaps you could rehab your house and turn it into a bed and breakfast? Sleepy little towns can be great tourist destinations if given the right motivation. Added bonus? If you garner support to make your town a 'place to be' then when you are ready to sell your property it will sell for a higher amount and in a shorter time. :-)

Motivation????

Thats a pretty cool idea. How do we make it more touristic though? There is already a tourist committee here and they dont seem to be planning much on getting people here. I can see it happening though, seems like I got some research to do! :D Thanks, that's a great idea!

You've heard, "If you build it, they will come?" Start with a B&B. Maybe encourage a friend to develop a yoga studio. Or vote for the city to build hiking trails. Or put your place on the map with your excellent baking skills. Each small step gets you one step closer. :-)

Definitely! I will meet up with the committee to see what they have done and what they are planning, see if I can help bring it up a notch. And ya, definitely get some of my own things happening to get more people coming this way :)

Woot! Keep me posted on your progress!
