Hey everyone! The time has finally arrived! Many of you have said that you're eager to learn more about real estate and get an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at how houses are designed, built and remodeled.
This is the first project that I'll share with all of you. It's a renovation project on a house that we're looking to complete in the next 2 months and then hopefully sell the house by May of 2018.
This post will serve as an introduction to the project, I'm going to show you what's going to be changed and where the changes are going to be made. My next post will go more in-depth on the numbers, the specific timelines for the project, some details about working with the contractors, etc.
Also, don't forget to leave any questions or suggestions in the comments, I'm looking for more ways to show you all how real estate works and I'm excited to see where this series takes us as this project progresses and my new projects begin!
For some context, the house was just recently vacated and we've begun the process of ripping everything out to prepare for the renovations. Here's the list of items that we're working on:
Location | Changes |
|---|---|
| Exterior | |
| Kitchen | |
| Basement | |
| First Floor | |
| Powder room | |
| Hall Bathroom | |
| Hall Laundry | |
| Master bathroom | |
| Second Floor | |
| Garage |
That's all for this post! My next post will be later today and will feature pictures of the house as it currently stands along with some commentary about the above changes and which pictures relate to which changes! Thank you so much for reading and please don't forget to answer the QOTD before you go!
Here's the Question of The Day, don't forget to post your answers in the comments!
QOTD: What is your opinion about this format for real estate posts? Do you have any suggestions to make this series of posts better?
Thanks for reading! Don't forget to leave your thoughts below and I look forward to seeing you in the comments!

Good project. Can’t wait to see the progess.
Thanks for sharing the steps of this project. You describe the work that will be done in columns that are easy to read but leave us with many unanswered questions.
I'm glad you posted something about what you are interested in and made it clear to read but I guess we are all thirsty for more.
Thanks for your support and your questions @mineopoly. I just posted #2 and included some plans of how I want to incorporate your questions and many other questions that people have posted about the project.
Post #3 will talk about all the financials of the project - how much the house cost, how long it took to negotiate, how I negotiated the price of the house to get the most leverage, the profit margin that is expected versus the actual profit, etc etc.
Yes, contractors and permits are a huge headache and I'm going to add that to the list of posts that I want to make about the project. To answer question #3, that's mostly determined by the contractor and his crew. Every contractor has their own preferred way of bringing in their own people to do different things like plumbing, electric, painting, etc.
Thanks again for all your help with your questions and suggestions, I really appreciate your input and I hope that the future posts are much better!
Thanks. I'm on my way to your new post.
Hey @khaleelkazi! I am so glad to see that you are moving forward with your real estate goals. This post is very informative and such a great way to see the individual steps that are taken in these types of projects! Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to your future projects!
Thanks for your support @purefood! I really appreciate you taking the time to read and let me know that you like these posts! I look forward to hearing more from you as this project progresses!!!
I may be biased because I'm a new homeowner, but I think posts describing why certain things are being updated, posts about where you can put the most value into a house, and maybe some tips and tricks for remodeling. I currently want to put a new bathroom in the basement and finish out the rest of the basement to make it more liveable, if I can find the time and money to spare. I think before and after photos with some details as you go along will be solid though!
I feel like I missed a ton of posts from you when I was on vacation and working, don't know how so I might have to go back and check them out!
Hey @jakeybrown! Thanks for those suggestions, I definitely am going to include them in the posts to come, you are a big help!!
I also took a short vacation from Steemit for a few days, it's refreshing and great to get back to normal again!! Hope you feel the same!
Haha I feel like I overdid steemit today, but it was my most successful day ever with commenting, post interaction, and even a bit of poker winning, but ya, still love coming here, it's easy to get burnt out if you overdo it too much though!
It looks like you are very organized! A great project. I like the format and description of each part of the house. II look forward to more pictures of each ares!!
You are an entrepreneur my friend! I dig it very much!
Thanks @sequentialvibe!! I look forward to sharing all the pictures/commentaries with all of you!! Thanks for your support, I love that I have the opportunity to share this with everyone!
I like the format but i got a good laugh out of the to do list. Me and you both know that will be 2 or 3 times longer by the time its sll said and done.
Thank you! Haha, that is very true! We can make plans for changes, but there will always be way more to do as time goes on!
first post is ok. i will follow for the next ones. format is well 🐜
Thanks! I'm glad you like it! do you have any suggestions for the future real estate posts? Would love to hear your thoughts!
maybe using the markdown styling gets posts more attractive
Always thought about remodeling myself. Look forward to seeing your progress.
I hope that you'll sell your house at profitable price. This is your first post like this but very beuatiful description. Thank you :)
Thanks for your support!
i like the houses that has no doors. maybe you can think my opinion.
and the format is so cool. go on.
Bunches of work to do! Land is a fun vocation that is without a doubt, yet to put my abilities in play would be to simply say lets get the administration out of the lodging business im beyond any doubt it would make things less demanding for newcomers endeavoring to begin.
You mentioned a lot of great details about Real estate.
I think this is very interesting, I think u didn't forget anything important.
so, there is nothing to say except Keep it up for the best
Great project!
