Here's your spiky-haired breakfast taco-loving host.

00:00:31.466 --> 00:00:34.073
House flipping coach Debbie DePure.

00:00:40.890 --> 00:00:42.533
Hey, thanks for hanging out with us today.

00:00:42.533 --> 00:00:49.533
So in today's episode I am having a conversation with one of our flip sisters in South Texas.

00:00:49.533 --> 00:00:55.593
Her name is Darcy and she is taking us through her first three flips.

00:00:55.593 --> 00:01:00.125
That she did within a year of joining our program.

00:01:00.125 --> 00:01:16.730
And I think you'll find her second flip particularly interesting, because it's something we haven't talked about too much on the podcast, because her second flip they purchased it using creative financing.

00:01:16.730 --> 00:01:27.394
They did a subject to deal on it, so we'll get into that as well as her other flips and lessons learned and just her story.

00:01:27.394 --> 00:01:29.746
I think you will really connect with her.

00:01:29.746 --> 00:01:37.787
She was a nurse, she has a husband and kids And she's just, she's awesome.

00:01:37.787 --> 00:01:42.347
You'll love the story, you'll be inspired to go take action And that's what it's all about.

00:01:42.347 --> 00:01:44.025
All right, let's meet Darcy.

00:01:44.025 --> 00:01:48.849
So let's go, let's start talking about these, because this is good stuff, this is such good stuff.

00:01:48.849 --> 00:01:55.826
Okay, so let's do the usual Introduce yourself, let us know where you are, a little bit of your background.

00:01:56.962 --> 00:01:58.828
Okay, so I'm Darcy.

00:01:58.828 --> 00:02:16.680
I'm from South Texas, my trades are registered nurse, mom to four boys And, as of last year, i became a flipper where you located.

00:02:17.061 --> 00:02:20.030
I don't remember if you said that in South Texas.

00:02:21.362 --> 00:02:22.888
I'm an hour north of Corpus Christi.

00:02:22.888 --> 00:02:25.800
Okay small town, 13,000.

00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:27.706
Yeah, tiny town.

00:02:27.706 --> 00:02:30.907
Have you always been there Pretty much.

00:02:30.907 --> 00:02:39.786
I grew up here and then moved away closer to Corpus for a few years for college, okay, and ended up moving back to be close to family.

00:02:39.786 --> 00:02:43.447
Nice, yeah, we really do like it here.

00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:49.872
Okay, so you did three projects last year I did.

00:02:49.872 --> 00:02:58.832
So let's kind of go through each one and do kind of a highlights, low lights stats.

00:02:58.832 --> 00:03:06.842
I think that'd be super beneficial because you did some interesting stuff and you like your first property.

00:03:06.842 --> 00:03:21.493
You listed it for sale after the market shift right, and then you did this cool subject to deal And then you did another flip that you've learned some lessons on.

00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.627
Yeah, the one that I kind of call the flop.

00:03:24.949 --> 00:03:25.830
Yeah the flop.

00:03:25.830 --> 00:03:29.524
Okay, gosh, we all have one of those, If not more.

00:03:29.524 --> 00:03:33.248
Okay, so walk us through your first one.

00:03:33.248 --> 00:03:38.050
So you, you founded the property before joining the program.

00:03:38.050 --> 00:03:39.902
How did you find it?

00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:57.550
So my husband is a electrician by trade And for years you know he's pulled into these real estate properties and new builds and this and that And it really piqued his interest to get into building and maybe do new construction.

00:03:57.550 --> 00:04:07.466
He saw the potential that my husband had and asked him to remodel his house and he partnered with someone else and did that and they they did really well.

00:04:07.466 --> 00:04:15.782
So my husband decides he wanted to find a house in the neighborhood to flip and I wasn't really on board with it.

00:04:16.285 --> 00:04:16.826
Interesting.

00:04:18.221 --> 00:04:27.327
And until one day he said so we're in a contract for a house and like, do what, and I only paid 45,000 for it.

00:04:27.327 --> 00:04:28.050
To what?

00:04:28.050 --> 00:04:36.072
So we sat on that house for a little bit because he was actually finishing his friend's house, the remodel.

00:04:36.072 --> 00:04:54.490
Okay, so once his friend's house was concluding, i thought I've got to get someone on board to help us, because he wants me to help him with this And I have no idea what I'm doing here And we can't lose any more money than what we've already put into this.

00:04:54.490 --> 00:05:05.052
So I started going online and trying to find help and I came across, i think, one of your podcasts and you mentioned something about living in Texas and not having a basement.

00:05:05.052 --> 00:05:06.947
I'm like she must be somewhere near me.

00:05:06.947 --> 00:05:11.699
I saw you're from Austin and that you know you're here to motivate women.

00:05:11.699 --> 00:05:13.225
I'm like that's what I need.

00:05:13.225 --> 00:05:15.189
Yes, i love it.

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.264
My husband used to go get her and me.

00:05:17.264 --> 00:05:19.651
I'm I'm more timid, i'm a researcher.

00:05:21.185 --> 00:05:21.887
That's a good balance.

00:05:23.062 --> 00:05:27.209
It is, it is, but I felt like you'd be a good mediator for us.

00:05:27.209 --> 00:05:30.083
Yeah, that house.

00:05:30.083 --> 00:05:36.675
I call Anderson, and once we got on the program with you, it took us six months to flip.

00:05:36.675 --> 00:05:37.257
Okay.

00:05:38.100 --> 00:05:39.805
And did you all do a lot of the work yourselves.

00:05:40.869 --> 00:05:43.204
Yes, so my husband was the GC.

00:05:43.204 --> 00:05:55.151
He had people do the roof but plumbing everything else And oh and sheetrock, everything else he did on his own or we did.

00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.872
Okay, did you enjoy that part?

00:05:57.872 --> 00:05:59.701
I did.

00:06:02.005 --> 00:06:05.151
I really did, and I loved seeing how much my husband loved it too.

00:06:05.151 --> 00:06:11.759
Uh-huh So, and I loved that it was right by our house, so we would walk there every day.

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.824
our neighbors would see us, our kids would go with us.

00:06:14.824 --> 00:06:21.365
We saw how it was just a street behind us and everyone all started taking care of their houses.

00:06:21.365 --> 00:06:24.641
The house next door it got painted, they put a new roof on.

00:06:24.641 --> 00:06:26.968
they really became our neighbors.

00:06:26.968 --> 00:06:34.110
I would water the grass and forget to turn off the sprinkler, and our neighbor would go turn it off for us, and it was.

00:06:34.110 --> 00:06:36.024
I really liked that experience.

00:06:36.526 --> 00:06:36.826
I did.

00:06:36.826 --> 00:06:38.023
That's really cool.

00:06:38.023 --> 00:06:39.189
That's really cool.

00:06:40.161 --> 00:06:44.307
And this house had been abandoned since before Hurricane Harvey.

00:06:44.307 --> 00:06:47.413
It had it had.

00:06:47.413 --> 00:06:51.259
All the windows had been covered up since before Hurricane Harvey.

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:52.749
Oh, my gosh, which was what year?

00:06:52.749 --> 00:06:54.418
2016?

00:06:54.418 --> 00:06:57.728
Yeah, I think so Good grief.

00:06:57.728 --> 00:07:02.422
So, yeah, i bet the neighbors were thrilled to see it coming back to life.

00:07:02.422 --> 00:07:09.685
Yeah, that makes a big difference in what you see when you leave your house and when you get back to your house.

00:07:10.339 --> 00:07:18.853
Uh-huh, yeah, this was just owned by an investor that he had inherited a lot of properties in our area and he had moved to Austin and didn't do anything with it.

00:07:18.853 --> 00:07:26.562
And my husband just saw it there and went and talked to a real estate agent and you know it was done pretty quick.

00:07:26.562 --> 00:07:29.415
But but yeah, all in all, we had it for a year.

00:07:29.415 --> 00:07:34.389
We bought it, we sat on it until we came to your program and got started.

00:07:34.490 --> 00:07:36.302
So Did you pay cash for that?

00:07:36.302 --> 00:07:38.187
We did Okay.

00:07:38.187 --> 00:07:41.406
Uh, hence the what are you doing?

00:07:42.141 --> 00:07:43.644
Exactly We did.

00:07:43.644 --> 00:07:58.113
And then when we sat down and really put the numbers together and saw how much it was going to cost, once he started tearing into it, we seeked PMLs.

00:07:58.613 --> 00:08:01.086
Oh, cool, nice, Okay.

00:08:01.086 --> 00:08:06.199
So what was what ended up being your renovation budget?

00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:07.384
What did you guys put into that one?

00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:18.341
We ended up spending 110,000, and that was about 20 grand over what I thought we were going to spend.

00:08:18.341 --> 00:08:33.289
Okay, but our ARV was also $35,000 more than what I thought we were going to sell it for when we first started the repairs in January.

00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.464
When you put it on the market, did you put?

00:08:36.524 --> 00:08:37.105
it on May.

00:08:37.586 --> 00:08:40.072
And in May was that when y'all started shifting.

00:08:41.342 --> 00:08:44.270
No, we didn't start shifting here until October.

00:08:44.943 --> 00:08:45.957
See interesting.

00:08:47.482 --> 00:08:48.605
So that's so.

00:08:48.605 --> 00:08:51.412
Remember this, because this is where things change for us.

00:08:51.412 --> 00:08:53.283
On our second flip that we sold in November.

00:08:53.283 --> 00:09:05.552
So so with this one, there was another flipping couple in town that had sold a house and got really good money for it and a not so great neighborhood.

00:09:05.552 --> 00:09:14.544
And I reached out to the wife and she kind of told me some things that she did And my husband and I decided you know what?

00:09:14.684 --> 00:09:25.346
we found somebody that's going to be a potential buyer and he was a doctor in town And we said you know what, let's make this house a little nicer than what we thought we were going to do.

00:09:25.346 --> 00:09:46.912
So together we decided to put in a few more bells and whistles, a little bit more curve appeal, and but even then we put the house on the market for 214, which was a gamble, because no one in this area flips a house the way we did, besides that other couple.

00:09:46.912 --> 00:09:53.961
They were the first ones to break the mold And they sold theirs for like 159 a square foot.

00:09:53.961 --> 00:09:58.408
What we were asking for ours was 160 a square foot.

00:09:58.408 --> 00:10:06.615
We put it on the market and within 24 hours we had seven offers, which was unheard of in our little county.

00:10:06.615 --> 00:10:11.029
Our real estate agent was just like oh my gosh what do I do?

00:10:13.969 --> 00:10:18.783
And we wanted to keep it on the market for a week because we wanted to showcase everything we did.

00:10:18.783 --> 00:10:20.027
She's like we can't do that.

00:10:20.027 --> 00:10:22.471
Like we have so many, we don't need any more offers.

00:10:22.471 --> 00:10:38.604
And all but one of them were at asking or over, and the one that wasn't at asking I was kind of glad because we knew these people knew it would be a pain to deal with, so luckily they weeded themselves out.

00:10:38.604 --> 00:10:44.761
But it was a good but still a problem to have having that many people Yep.

00:10:44.761 --> 00:10:54.464
And then have the issue of knowing that most people are going or all of them had to have financing.

00:10:54.464 --> 00:11:02.349
You're going to have to deal with this appraisal, yes, crazy was not going to meet our asking price or the contracted price.

00:11:02.349 --> 00:11:19.508
So the doctor who wanted to buy the house he was not our highest, but he did give us asking And what our agent decided to do was to send a letter out to everyone.

00:11:19.948 --> 00:11:29.186
Of course she told us about it too, but she said I think we should send a letter out to everyone telling them to give us their best and biggest offer.

00:11:29.186 --> 00:11:32.113
And I said okay.

00:11:32.113 --> 00:11:37.364
I said I just don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, and it did.

00:11:37.364 --> 00:11:38.605
They ruffled.

00:11:38.605 --> 00:11:40.830
The doctor was the first one to pull out.

00:11:40.830 --> 00:11:52.506
He was very offended by it And whenever I went to visit the flip sisters in Austin to go see your latest flip, i was just like, oh my gosh, I don't know what to do.

00:11:52.908 --> 00:11:55.943
I couldn't even enjoy because I was just.

00:11:55.943 --> 00:11:57.128
I felt so bad.

00:11:57.128 --> 00:11:58.072
I offended this doctor.

00:11:58.072 --> 00:12:02.184
I kind of felt like I had put this house together with him in mind.

00:12:02.184 --> 00:12:12.613
As soon as I got back to Beagle I went to knock on his door and be like listen, just give him my heart and say here's where I'm at.

00:12:12.613 --> 00:12:25.283
And I even wrote letters out to everyone and sent it to my real estate agent and just said listen, first I want to thank you for the offer that you gave us, because they were all great offers.

00:12:25.283 --> 00:12:27.529
There's just seven of them to choose from.

00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:29.203
I don't like multiple offers.

00:12:29.203 --> 00:12:34.606
Like I know it sounds great, but they're stressful because everybody except for one person is going to be mad.

00:12:36.745 --> 00:12:40.058
Yeah And you start looking and I'm like I'm not going to make this personal.

00:12:40.058 --> 00:12:40.399
Next thing.

00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:48.024
I know I'm like I was not in a small town because I knew most of these people or their relatives if they were moving here from out of town.

00:12:48.024 --> 00:12:50.431
So here's what I did.

00:12:51.091 --> 00:12:58.259
I looked at all the different offers and I looked at how much money each person was putting down on the house.

00:12:58.259 --> 00:13:03.567
One in particular was putting down 50 grand, but it was a VA loan.

00:13:03.567 --> 00:13:08.740
My real estate agent said mark that one out, it's a VA.

00:13:08.740 --> 00:13:11.518
My husband said mark that one out, it's a VA.

00:13:11.518 --> 00:13:12.150
I'm like.

00:13:12.150 --> 00:13:13.013
Why I'm like?

00:13:13.013 --> 00:13:16.841
because it's going to be a bigger issue with the appraisal.

00:13:16.841 --> 00:13:20.591
If it doesn't meet appraisal, it's going to fall through Me.

00:13:20.591 --> 00:13:21.777
Being a researcher, i am.

00:13:21.777 --> 00:13:30.480
I look and no, it says that if it doesn't meet appraisal, the buyer is more than welcome to come up with the money to make up the difference.

00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.596
I remember that I really stuck to my guns on that.

00:13:33.596 --> 00:13:35.455
My husband was pissed.

00:13:35.455 --> 00:13:43.461
My real estate agent thought I was crazy, but I didn't see anyone else that could potentially come up with the funds.

00:13:43.461 --> 00:13:50.880
I'm like if they have 50 grand to put down, i feel like they will be able to come closer where some of these others.

00:13:51.370 --> 00:13:53.457
We had two that were FHA Oh gosh.

00:13:53.457 --> 00:13:55.515
Yeah, they put down the bare minimum.

00:13:55.515 --> 00:14:00.419
I'm willing to think that they're not going to be able to come up with an extra eight to 10 grand if needed.

00:14:00.419 --> 00:14:14.241
So that's who we went with, and it did take a little bit longer because this gentleman he had left the service many years ago, so it was hard to come up with a documentation for his VA loan to go through, oh gosh.

00:14:14.241 --> 00:14:22.294
But his agent and my agent worked together to find him a conventional loan and it finally went through.

00:14:22.294 --> 00:14:25.980
So it took like 35 days to close, got it?

00:14:25.980 --> 00:14:26.732
That's not bad.

00:14:27.490 --> 00:14:30.966
No, and we sold the house for 220 instead of 214.

00:14:30.966 --> 00:14:49.703
So we thought we were only going to make like 22 to 23K on this house and that was with the accounting for holding on to it for 12 months But we ended up making 36, 640, which is that's good for our little town of 13,000.

00:14:50.551 --> 00:14:51.653
No, that's incredible.

00:14:51.653 --> 00:14:53.279
It's not just good, that's incredible.

00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:56.139
That's like 15 plus percent or something.

00:14:56.139 --> 00:14:57.094
That's amazing.

00:14:57.094 --> 00:15:05.206
And after holding it for 12 months, like Yeah, yeah, so that's awesome, thank you.

00:15:05.225 --> 00:15:08.255
Yeah, and in the middle of all of this.

00:15:08.255 --> 00:15:21.235
So when my husband was working on his friend's property, i would drive over there because I ended up this man as a bachelor and I had to act as his wife and making decisions on different things, which was really cool.

00:15:21.235 --> 00:15:23.457
I loved it because I got to stage his house.

00:15:23.457 --> 00:15:28.273
I helped him pick out so many different things Really cool.

00:15:28.273 --> 00:15:38.317
But on my way over there I would pass by this house that looked abandoned and he had told us about it too And he said, hey, you guys need to go see what's going on with it.

00:15:39.070 --> 00:15:42.177
And when I was in your program, i learned about something called sub-tues.

00:15:42.177 --> 00:15:45.654
So this house.

00:15:45.654 --> 00:15:53.181
I ended up tracking down the owner And there was a carpenter that we sub-contracted to do some work.

00:15:53.181 --> 00:15:56.197
And I said, hey, do you know this guy?

00:15:56.197 --> 00:16:00.717
Because we all grew up here And I thought maybe they know one another.

00:16:00.717 --> 00:16:02.075
And he said, yeah, i grew up with him.

00:16:02.075 --> 00:16:04.455
He found me, his number.

00:16:04.455 --> 00:16:11.318
I contacted the guy, learned that he liked to text, so we texted for a little bit and then he fell off the radar.

00:16:11.318 --> 00:16:24.783
And then I had paid for a foreclosure app And that house showed up on the app in January of last year.

00:16:24.783 --> 00:16:43.942
So I messaged him And I said hey, man, i'm bothering you again just because I want you to know that your house is officially going to go to auction in February And if you want to sell it, i am seriously interested.

00:16:43.942 --> 00:16:45.274
You want to meet up tomorrow?

00:16:45.274 --> 00:16:46.794
And he said yeah, let's meet.

00:16:47.289 --> 00:16:50.077
Did he know that it was going into auction?

00:16:52.211 --> 00:16:52.772
So this house?

00:16:52.772 --> 00:17:01.518
he stopped paying on it for Callee almost a year, but with COVID they weren't foreclosing anymore.

00:17:01.518 --> 00:17:18.359
So they finally opened it up And he didn't realize OK, he didn't realize, but he was just so far behind, he didn't have the funds And he had moved out And it just wasn't conducive for him to try to save it.

00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:28.215
Yeah, but without going into his personal story, it was just he and his wife were no longer together, but it was community property.

00:17:28.215 --> 00:17:32.740
So not only did I have to convince him but I also had to convince her.

00:17:32.740 --> 00:17:38.355
And they weren't exactly on, they were sort of on speaking terms, but sometimes he was in and out of the picture.

00:17:38.355 --> 00:17:53.276
But for me it was personal in that 14 years ago my husband and I almost lost a house And we thought it was our dream house And it was during 2008.

00:17:53.276 --> 00:18:06.227
And, bubble bursting, i had lost my job, we decided to move back to our small town And well it was an investor that contacted us.

00:18:06.848 --> 00:18:06.929
Wow.

00:18:07.530 --> 00:18:11.861
And we ended up doing a short sale on the house.

00:18:11.861 --> 00:18:25.337
But we got to come back home with decent credit, right, and with some dignity, right, and that's all I could think about for this couple.

00:18:25.337 --> 00:18:26.472
And I know for me.

00:18:26.472 --> 00:18:34.221
I've had sales jobs before, but then I ended up going back into nursing because I love health care and I love helping people, yeah.

00:18:34.221 --> 00:18:53.938
So it was a big motivator for me on this house And we ended up purchasing it with about an hour left for me to get a money order to the lender to keep it from going to auction that following Tuesday, oh gosh, yeah.

00:18:53.938 --> 00:18:59.622
So, in the gut, a couple grand in his pocket too.

00:18:59.950 --> 00:19:11.740
So I think this is a really great conversation because so many people are like why would a seller ever agree to a subject to deal?

00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:19.839
They don't get it Right, and we can say, well, these are the reasons why Nope Doesn't make any sense to me, that I would never agree to any of that.

00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:23.114
Why would I agree to somebody taking over my loan, like, why would I do that?

00:19:23.114 --> 00:19:27.279
So how would you answer that question?

00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:31.279
As it relates to this specific transaction, Sure.

00:19:31.750 --> 00:19:38.421
So for this person, they ran into issues where he was laid off at his job.

00:19:38.421 --> 00:20:08.532
He had made some bad choices that cost him his family and his health, and he was trying to get himself back on track And he had just given up the idea of being able to take care of this property and acre of land that had been let go for a year and a house that had sat vacant And he just didn't see any way to get out of it other than just let it go.

00:20:08.532 --> 00:20:19.123
And, um, you know, for the wife, she moved back home with her family and she wasn't working.

00:20:19.123 --> 00:20:20.826
She didn't have a way to save it either.

00:20:22.617 --> 00:20:31.125
So and I know for me personally we tried to put our house on the market for sell by owner, because we didn't have it for very long and we didn't have equity in it.

00:20:31.125 --> 00:20:38.568
And I just thought, man, if we go and sell it, we're not going to have the money to be able to get out of our rears, you know.

00:20:38.568 --> 00:20:41.682
So I had agents call me.

00:20:41.682 --> 00:20:45.380
I even had my old agent that had sold it to me going what are you doing, girl?

00:20:45.380 --> 00:20:47.380
Like I see this for sell by owner?

00:20:47.380 --> 00:20:48.402
sign in your yard.

00:20:48.402 --> 00:20:54.585
Why didn't you call me And I'm like because I can't get for it what I bought it for.

00:20:56.737 --> 00:21:02.641
And yeah, it was investor out of Dallas that called me, and I'm just still so appreciative for that.

00:21:03.934 --> 00:21:09.886
See, exactly, i think this is such an important conversation.

00:21:09.886 --> 00:21:16.145
It doesn't the person on the other end, the person who owns the property.

00:21:16.145 --> 00:21:21.405
It doesn't have to be that they feel like they got the raw end of the deal.

00:21:21.405 --> 00:21:43.747
They can feel like they got saved, like, oh my God, they totally saved me because credit gets saved, dignity gets saved, like all kinds of things get saved, when we can do a creative financing deal like that, oh my gosh wow, you know, and you just have to be super upfront and let them know the pros and the cons of it.

00:21:43.875 --> 00:21:49.006
And we really did try to figure out what we could do without doing the sub two.

00:21:49.006 --> 00:21:58.818
But at the time it was just we had to act so quickly that there wouldn't be time for like a full sale.

00:21:59.181 --> 00:22:00.497
Right, yeah, and you can't get.

00:22:00.497 --> 00:22:03.718
You can't go get a loan that fast, like you had to.

00:22:03.718 --> 00:22:08.808
Subject to, was the way to stop it being that close to auction, Oh my gosh.

00:22:08.808 --> 00:22:10.820
Ok, so you took over their payments.

00:22:12.234 --> 00:22:22.219
We took over their payments and gave them a couple grand, and even the subcontractor that helped me get in touch with him.

00:22:22.219 --> 00:22:23.542
They went and knocked on his door.

00:22:23.542 --> 00:22:25.862
I gave him a couple hundred dollars.

00:22:25.862 --> 00:22:31.986
Nice, i got in touch with the attorney that you told us about, allison Tipton.

00:22:31.986 --> 00:22:34.462
She's the one that helped us with the transaction.

00:22:34.462 --> 00:22:36.277
She was great, awesome.

00:22:36.277 --> 00:22:40.443
I had a friend that worked at a bank here that was a notary.

00:22:40.443 --> 00:22:46.228
She was able to help this couple you know, do the notary help them with the money order.

00:22:46.228 --> 00:22:46.958
She helped me.

00:22:46.958 --> 00:22:50.858
She became part of the team too, and it's awesome.

00:22:50.858 --> 00:22:59.528
So now this house, we have ended up paying off that note because we have decided to keep it and move into it.

00:22:59.528 --> 00:23:03.934
Nice, we tore into it and saw that there was some extensive termite damage.

00:23:03.934 --> 00:23:06.186
My husband's very good at tearing into things.

00:23:06.268 --> 00:23:07.535
I'm learning this.

00:23:07.535 --> 00:23:08.599
I'm learning this.

00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:10.740
Oh my gosh.

00:23:12.695 --> 00:23:13.176
And.

00:23:13.176 --> 00:23:36.123
But you know it's out on an acre And it just it's going to fulfill a dream for us where we can go to a bigger spot for our two boys that we have two that are already out of the house and two younger ones, and one of them has health issues And I haven't been able to work full time because of it.

00:23:36.123 --> 00:23:38.119
He's home a lot.

00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:40.201
It's going to give us more like running area.

00:23:40.201 --> 00:24:02.082
We're going to be able to design this house the way we want it, and it's so neat to go and fix up a house like we did at Anderson, but it's going to be even neater to be able to live in it and say we did that, yes, so, so, yeah, that's really cool, but here's where we come into our flop.

00:24:04.394 --> 00:24:11.548
So while we were waiting on Anderson to close, a friend of mine started calling me.

00:24:11.548 --> 00:24:28.344
She lived out of town but she's a real estate agent and she was trying to sell a house for someone that lived here in town whose mother was a widow and needed to move out and move closer to her family, and this person did not want to put their house on the MLS.

00:24:28.344 --> 00:24:34.865
The daughter didn't, because I think she was just so embarrassed of the state of the house.

00:24:34.865 --> 00:24:37.798
Her mom was elderly.

00:24:37.798 --> 00:24:42.000
There was just a lot of stuff in it.

00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:53.183
It was really run down And I think that just emotionally, it was just too much for her to handle, sure, so her friend was looking for an investor in town that would buy it off market.

00:24:54.674 --> 00:25:08.820
And I didn't want to look at it because I was just still so focused on Anderson and the sub two that finally, when it was starting to close, she's like Darcy, i'm about to put out flyers on this house, will you please just come look at it before I do?

00:25:08.820 --> 00:25:16.742
And when we did I saw oh my gosh, it's wrapped in brick, so we don't have to tear it down.

00:25:16.742 --> 00:25:20.545
It's exciting all over it.

00:25:20.545 --> 00:25:27.787
It's going to need a new roof, but it's gone a third of an acre in this neighborhood that I never drove through in our tiny town.

00:25:27.787 --> 00:25:30.121
It's in town but it's not.

00:25:30.121 --> 00:25:31.820
There's oak trees everywhere.

00:25:31.820 --> 00:25:36.441
It's a quiet street And it's a little house.

00:25:36.441 --> 00:25:54.884
But I mean, i think that the sheetrock is salvageable, i think that the kitchen is salvageable And I quickly saw that this is a great flip for us to do, and maybe three to four months and make a decent profit on it and use it in the house that we wanted to move into, nice, yeah.

00:25:59.742 --> 00:26:00.846
It's always those.

00:26:00.846 --> 00:26:02.508
It's going to be a quick, easy one.

00:26:02.508 --> 00:26:04.540
It's going to be a quick, easy one.

00:26:05.096 --> 00:26:08.304
You know how I mentioned my husbands were really good at tearing into things.

00:26:08.304 --> 00:26:22.402
Yeah, the first thing that he saw was this yard and its potential, but he saw that there was just so much brush, so he hired someone to go out there and clear that, and then he started tearing into some trees.

00:26:22.402 --> 00:26:29.928
He decided I'm going to take a break from doing electrical while I just focus on this house so we can get it done quickly.

00:26:29.928 --> 00:26:44.196
And that was such a big mistake because, you know, we didn't take into account that he's not bringing money in And we needed to consider him as labor and pay, you know.

00:26:44.196 --> 00:26:51.249
And then I said why don't we have some people come in and help you so that we can get it done faster?

00:26:51.996 --> 00:27:00.102
But those people that came in and helped, there was a lot of dead weight And we should have some of the projects we asked for help on.

00:27:00.102 --> 00:27:04.567
They did on time and material, instead of us asking for a cost upfront.

00:27:04.567 --> 00:27:10.005
And you know, coming from a small town, they won't do me wrong And maybe they didn't.

00:27:10.005 --> 00:27:16.506
It didn't work in our budget And I think within two months we were already through.

00:27:16.506 --> 00:27:19.278
Oh gosh, not even that.

00:27:19.278 --> 00:27:20.280
A month and a half.

00:27:20.280 --> 00:27:30.926
We were already through like 80% of our budget And a lot of it was like buying things up front, like the floor, you know, things that weren't laid out yet.

00:27:30.926 --> 00:27:34.740
Yeah, my husband's like, don't worry, we've already bought most of it.

00:27:34.740 --> 00:27:42.339
It's okay, but he's sort of so much labor, right, right, and so that house.

00:27:43.795 --> 00:27:44.738
What did you pay for it?

00:27:46.815 --> 00:27:48.520
I'm going to tell you that was my first mistake also.

00:27:48.520 --> 00:27:50.940
So we paid 70.

00:27:50.940 --> 00:27:55.483
I had offered 65.

00:27:55.483 --> 00:28:02.787
And the mutual friend who was their agent, she said they asked if you would go up to 70.

00:28:02.787 --> 00:28:09.926
Because this is the last of the money that their mom has for her care.

00:28:09.926 --> 00:28:20.924
Oh gosh, and I didn't see that number, like my when I used my deal analyzer.

00:28:20.924 --> 00:28:25.410
like 65 is already like the top of what I wanted to do.

00:28:25.410 --> 00:28:30.203
Yeah So, but I kept thinking well, it's got brick, you know, so we're not going to have to do that much.

00:28:30.203 --> 00:28:31.326
So I could pay a little bit more.

00:28:31.326 --> 00:28:33.602
But I said, okay, we'll do the 70.

00:28:33.602 --> 00:28:38.719
So we're afraid someone else was going to snag it And I said, okay, we'll do the 70.

00:28:38.719 --> 00:28:51.795
Now I could have been like we can give you 66 or no, we just I wish we could, but this is our top.

00:28:51.795 --> 00:28:57.065
And I had also said to help get the deal, i said, if you feel comfortable representing both of us, because this mutual friend she did come in from Houston and she cleaned that house out herself.

00:28:57.065 --> 00:29:03.938
Oh, wow, and I had a great mission on this house.

00:29:03.938 --> 00:29:11.863
Yeah, you know, but I also, you know, i don't know, sometimes your heart gets in the way, and you do dumb things instead of looking at the numbers.

00:29:11.863 --> 00:29:18.795
So I did, yeah, so I went with the 70.

00:29:18.795 --> 00:29:22.682
And I thought that our repairs were going to be at about 50 53,000.

00:29:22.682 --> 00:29:27.442
They ended up being 103.

00:29:27.442 --> 00:29:29.657
Oh gosh.

00:29:32.455 --> 00:29:41.730
So, going back to Anderson, we were, we were very fortunate to sell it for over asking price and sell it at that amount.

00:29:41.730 --> 00:29:53.006
But this house, the market started shifting And we saw houses that would have been selling really quickly a few months back.

00:29:53.006 --> 00:30:02.779
We're sitting on the market And they were starting to reduce their price And that made me nervous.

00:30:02.779 --> 00:30:04.303
But my husband said you know what?

00:30:04.303 --> 00:30:08.912
so many people I mean we're getting phone calls left and right, people wanting us to remodel their houses.

00:30:08.912 --> 00:30:10.775
Or do you have any houses on the market?

00:30:10.775 --> 00:30:13.864
He's like I know we can sell this one the same way we did Anderson.

00:30:15.336 --> 00:30:30.586
And he was like I think we could even get 170 square foot for this And you get tied up on that lingo because that's what the real estate agent is telling you, but the real estate agent isn't having to put money into it to hit that 170.

00:30:30.586 --> 00:30:33.416
Right, right, Where before?

00:30:33.416 --> 00:30:39.386
I mean I was going to get, like I was hoping for, like 140 something a square foot.

00:30:39.386 --> 00:30:41.009
I didn't want to play that game again.

00:30:41.009 --> 00:30:52.210
Yes, because how often does somebody have that much money to put into the deal where they can pay the difference from what it appraises for and what you're asking, right?

00:30:53.395 --> 00:31:10.548
But I finally just did this and said, ok, we just got to get this house put back together And this may be a big lesson learned And it was because we ended up selling the house for 170 a square foot, which is great.

00:31:10.548 --> 00:31:21.798
Yeah, we ended up selling it for 200,000, where I was hoping to sell it for 175,000, 80,000 before We did sell it for 200,000.

00:31:21.798 --> 00:31:25.785
But we just put so much into it.

00:31:25.785 --> 00:31:31.795
When everything was said and done, we only made about 11,000 on it.

00:31:32.096 --> 00:31:33.038
But you made money.

00:31:33.038 --> 00:31:33.640
Oh my gosh.

00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:35.586
I thought you were going to say you lost all this money.

00:31:36.115 --> 00:31:47.666
Well, but think about this, Debbie my husband didn't work for four months, yeah, and that that doesn't include his labor Got it OK, ok.

00:31:47.666 --> 00:31:51.981
So now I mean, we weren't if it weren't for that.

00:31:51.981 --> 00:31:54.126
You know we were not in the red, but we were.

00:31:54.126 --> 00:31:56.640
Yeah, oh man.

00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:01.093
So we put it on the market for 205.

00:32:01.093 --> 00:32:04.380
And within 24 hours we had two offers.

00:32:04.380 --> 00:32:12.258
Our, our agent brought a cash buyer to the table And he offered us 200.

00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:21.349
And then, a funny thing, right across the street lived a husband and wife that were actually divorced but still living together.

00:32:21.349 --> 00:32:25.287
The wife, or the ex-wife, wanted to buy the house.

00:32:25.287 --> 00:32:30.083
I guess she'd been watching us work on it for months And she had nowhere.

00:32:30.083 --> 00:32:32.088
What's an offer in so random?

00:32:32.088 --> 00:32:40.734
Yeah, for full asking, but you know she was going to have a loan and we knew at 170.

00:32:40.734 --> 00:32:44.224
Well, it was going to be 174 square foot, i think.

00:32:44.224 --> 00:32:52.222
I knew that it would not appraise for that And it was like how do you not take the cash sale?

00:32:52.222 --> 00:32:57.296
So we took it and it closed in two weeks.

00:32:57.296 --> 00:32:59.469
Oh my gosh, thank you.

00:32:59.469 --> 00:33:05.392
Yeah, i wasn't having to worry about it during Christmas, but now here I am in February and I'm going.

00:33:05.392 --> 00:33:12.271
Should I have come back to the cash buyer and said you know, we'll take 203.

00:33:12.271 --> 00:33:21.010
I just need to thank my lucky stars that we got out of it Leave well enough alone, right Like it's.

00:33:21.311 --> 00:33:21.653
It's.

00:33:21.653 --> 00:33:22.855
It's a trade off of stress.

00:33:22.855 --> 00:33:24.912
And what are you willing to trade?

00:33:24.912 --> 00:33:26.068
What are you willing to trade?

00:33:26.068 --> 00:33:26.806
And?

00:33:26.806 --> 00:33:32.511
and we're also going to always think, oh gosh, i could have done that differently.

00:33:32.511 --> 00:33:34.611
I should have done that differently.

00:33:34.611 --> 00:33:36.007
What would you say?

00:33:36.007 --> 00:33:40.810
your biggest lessons learned were on that specific house.

00:33:43.065 --> 00:33:46.114
That you have to stick to your numbers.

00:33:46.114 --> 00:33:50.454
And you have to stick to your numbers.

00:33:50.454 --> 00:33:59.528
You have to not be afraid to communicate with your team, and when I say team, i mean the people that are working on the project.

00:33:59.528 --> 00:34:06.611
Do not hire someone time and material on this, because how the heck are you going to stick to a budget?

00:34:06.611 --> 00:34:15.637
And they need to know that you have a budget, that you're not just an endless money bag.

00:34:15.637 --> 00:34:18.452
And this is where it gets tricky.

00:34:18.452 --> 00:34:23.753
Being married to your general contractor, i was getting ready to move out and move into that house.

00:34:24.684 --> 00:34:34.228
Well, i was thinking about the episode that just released with Toby right And she, so she and her.

00:34:34.228 --> 00:34:37.610
Her husband is a GC And she's like you know what.

00:34:37.610 --> 00:34:46.237
It sounds great, it sounds like that would be the best thing ever, but it also comes with some challenges of its own right.

00:34:46.364 --> 00:35:02.010
Like, yeah, so absolutely, and there were just there were some things that we did agree on, but I feel like so often that we would have to argue through it, especially with that one, and I didn't like that.

00:35:02.010 --> 00:35:06.650
I love the kids got to do the same things like they did to Anderson, their parents working hard.

00:35:06.650 --> 00:35:12.550
And my kids of this day, my son's like mom, there's a house on the market over there.

00:35:12.550 --> 00:35:13.548
You want to go look at it.

00:35:13.548 --> 00:35:16.873
I love it, you know, and what would you do to it and stuff.

00:35:16.873 --> 00:35:22.072
But I feel like there was also a lot of emotional turmoil between my husband and me on that one.

00:35:22.072 --> 00:35:40.128
Ok, and being able to reflect on it now because now you know we are flipping this house to move into at Loma Linda, the sub two, and that's really cost us Because instead of having more money to put into that house, we now have less Right And less time.

00:35:40.128 --> 00:35:47.132
Because my husband is burnout on his job as an electrician and he's decided to go back to the power company.

00:35:47.813 --> 00:35:47.893
OK.

00:35:48.306 --> 00:35:59.074
And now he's like in this mad rush to try to get as much of it done as he can before he goes back to a full time position, and I'm really sad for him because he is so good at what he does.

00:35:59.074 --> 00:36:00.106
It.

00:36:00.106 --> 00:36:10.090
We've just if he, if we ever can entertain it again, whether it's flipping or remodeling for people or new construction, we have to be able to trust these numbers.

00:36:10.090 --> 00:36:11.614
Yes, take with them.

00:36:11.614 --> 00:36:15.655
Yes, because this is a market and it's going to fluctuate.

00:36:15.844 --> 00:36:16.146
Yeah.

00:36:16.965 --> 00:36:29.632
And I don't want to play that game of waiting for unicorns of people with 50 grand in their pocket or cash buy And so, yeah, that's.

00:36:29.632 --> 00:36:50.152
Those are big lessons learned, and I think that we're learning it too, because the house that we currently live in we're like do we want to sell this one and use it to put more money into the other house, or do we want to rent it out?

00:36:50.152 --> 00:36:52.811
So we're still going back and forth with it.

00:36:52.811 --> 00:37:04.608
But I will say our flop of Louise has taught us look at those numbers And it really helps to be a lot less emotional about it, trusting those numbers.

00:37:05.766 --> 00:37:05.987
Yes.

00:37:06.945 --> 00:37:07.628
Aim into that.

00:37:07.628 --> 00:37:14.811
So, yeah, that's the biggest takeaway, and you've been telling us that from day one, and I remember it was really hot.

00:37:14.811 --> 00:37:27.456
You voiced as you said I am really worried about the people that are going in there and seeing these prices skyrocketing and saying, well, i have more leeway.

00:37:27.456 --> 00:37:30.373
Yes, i don't care so much about my budget.

00:37:30.373 --> 00:37:32.730
Yes, you're like that's a gamble.

00:37:32.730 --> 00:37:34.291
You're like I've been doing this a long time.

00:37:34.291 --> 00:37:35.951
These numbers aren't going to stay where they are.

00:37:36.231 --> 00:37:47.878
Yes, It's always about following best practices, like even, and it's really hard when you see, oh my gosh, it's going up $10,000 a month.

00:37:47.878 --> 00:37:52.275
This is awesome, i'm going to put more in and do all this.

00:37:52.275 --> 00:38:01.190
And it's great when it works, but when that shifts before you've sold, it doesn't work And it's very stressful.

00:38:01.190 --> 00:38:02.346
It's hard.

00:38:02.346 --> 00:38:06.195
Discipline around following best practices.

00:38:06.195 --> 00:38:08.307
Discipline and best practices are the.

00:38:08.307 --> 00:38:26.773
Those are the biggest two things I think that we need to think about all the time, because it's hard, because we do love houses and it's hard to be like nope, stick to the numbers, but this house, no, stick to the numbers.

00:38:26.773 --> 00:38:27.556
I get it.

00:38:27.556 --> 00:38:29.967
I am exactly the same way, yeah.

00:38:31.612 --> 00:38:39.257
Yeah, and I'm just really grateful that I can only imagine all the flops we would have had had I not joined the program.

00:38:39.257 --> 00:38:48.318
And I deal with I'm my own biggest critic, which I'm sure we can all say that we are.

00:38:48.318 --> 00:39:03.891
But I've just dealt with so much fear of failure over the years, having a son with special needs And it taking so long to get a diagnosis, and I went back to school to help him.

00:39:03.891 --> 00:39:16.291
And then when COVID hit, i was, i was a nurse and realized that he has an autoimmune condition that flares up when he's sick, so I had to quit my job as a nurse.

00:39:16.291 --> 00:39:25.018
I I was also an FNP school nurse practitioner school, which my goal was to become a nurse practitioner and help children like him.

00:39:25.018 --> 00:39:40.934
I ended up taking a hiatus on that too, because I was homeschooling him And he did end up getting really sick from a common cold virus And it set us back And I just get to the point where I'm like I can't make one more mistake.

00:39:40.934 --> 00:39:52.996
Oh gosh, i was just counting my failures up, but by flipping houses it gave me something more to do than think about his illness.

00:39:52.996 --> 00:40:14.876
It gave an outlet to be creative and to feel like I was managing people and that I was still a productive person, because there were definitely times where I felt like even having the health care knowledge that I did like my hand, it was just out of my control with my son.

00:40:16.545 --> 00:40:51.349
What's also been neat is my son he's not in school full day yet, so when I pick him up I take him to these houses or he's here and he sees me on the computer doing things and he's very inquisitive And I like to believe that this is going to put a seed in him, because there's definitely days where we've had to think like even remodeling this house We're we're making it for in case he lives with us into adulthood, but we we ultimately don't know what his future looks like.

00:40:51.548 --> 00:40:59.219
But I wonder if maybe this will strike a passion in him to be his own boss.

00:40:59.219 --> 00:41:23.869
And because he does, he does have that perfectionistic trait of his dad, but he is very analytical and he's just so inquisitive about it And I think he's seen me struggle emotionally and have to recover from that and keep going And that's a big part of his day to day struggle.

00:41:23.869 --> 00:41:39.869
So There's definitely days where I feel like I'm messing up as a mom, as a wife, but when I think about what he's seen in these last few years and the kid it shaped him into.

00:41:39.869 --> 00:41:41.440
I'm proud of that.

00:41:42.215 --> 00:41:43.440
Yeah, That's huge.

00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:46.282
I don't even know anything else we could end on than that.

00:41:46.282 --> 00:41:49.262
That would be better Like that's just beautiful for real.

00:41:49.262 --> 00:41:50.217
That's huge.

00:41:50.217 --> 00:41:58.679
Congratulations on all of the things that you've accomplished and gone through Right.

00:41:58.679 --> 00:41:59.963
We've all got our stuff.

00:42:01.155 --> 00:42:03.523
I mean, it always makes us better.

00:42:05.297 --> 00:42:05.538
It does.

00:42:05.538 --> 00:42:11.237
It always feels like it in the moment, but we have to trust that It will pass.

00:42:11.237 --> 00:42:12.681
It will pass.

00:42:12.681 --> 00:42:16.021
Oh, that trusting part can be hard.

00:42:17.474 --> 00:42:29.163
It is, and there were days when I felt like I couldn't speak to my GC Or I couldn't fix my son.

00:42:29.163 --> 00:42:32.221
I felt like I was helpless.

00:42:32.221 --> 00:42:51.074
And then I would go and I'd get on our Facebook group page where I'd get in on a call and I'd hear what the flip sisters were going through, or just for a minute I would just take my mind off of my own struggles and just celebrate someone else's win.

00:42:51.335 --> 00:42:53.659
Yes, Doesn't that feel good?

00:42:53.659 --> 00:43:01.583
It can help reset and reframe, yeah, yeah, and then just trusting it'll pass.

00:43:01.583 --> 00:43:03.137
And it does.

00:43:03.137 --> 00:43:04.478
Yeah, it does.

00:43:04.478 --> 00:43:06.501
Thank you for sharing your story.

00:43:06.501 --> 00:43:10.021
Thank you, all right, i'll let you go.

00:43:10.021 --> 00:43:11.239
I know you got a kiddo there.

00:43:11.239 --> 00:43:12.318
Thanks, darcy.

00:43:12.318 --> 00:43:16.280
Thank you, i'll see you in the group, all right, thanks, bye-bye.

00:43:18.235 --> 00:43:22.215
See, the reason why I think this episode is so important.

00:43:22.215 --> 00:43:25.284
Well, one of the reasons Her story is just really powerful.

00:43:25.284 --> 00:43:34.023
I think her story of her son, i think her love for family, i think we can all relate to.

00:43:34.023 --> 00:43:38.960
We want to do everything to help our kid, especially when they're struggling.

00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:42.001
But here's the point.

00:43:42.001 --> 00:44:00.860
Here's another point, here's another takeaway I want you to have from this episode, and that is when we are doing creative financing, when we are out there buying properties, it isn't about the property, all right, it's about the people.

00:44:00.860 --> 00:44:24.684
So the way she was able to help the property owner who was facing foreclosure and how that was all that all came full circle Because she and her husband were in that position previously And an investor helped her out, so she was able to pay that forward and help somebody else out.

00:44:25.077 --> 00:44:26.735
We aren't taking advantage of people.

00:44:26.735 --> 00:44:32.384
We are truly serving people when they don't think they have any other option.

00:44:32.384 --> 00:44:36.840
They don't know Until you learn.

00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:40.025
Oh, there are different ways to buy and sell houses.

00:44:40.025 --> 00:44:46.094
It's not just you go to the bank and get a loan Until you learn there are different ways.

00:44:46.094 --> 00:44:47.922
You don't know any differently, right?

00:44:47.922 --> 00:44:53.835
Whether you're a property owner or an investor, you don't know any differently until you know, anyway.

00:44:53.835 --> 00:45:12.585
So I just think it's really important to understand that we absolutely can serve people And we absolutely can do this business in a way that is about people, not just profit.

00:45:13.974 --> 00:45:15.882
All right, that's my soapbox for today.

00:45:15.882 --> 00:45:50.402
If you want to learn how to buy, renovate, sell or rent houses and you want an amazing community behind you, and all of the processes, all of the steps, all of the how to step by step, plus best practices to follow, ways to avoid losing money, avoid making those costly mistakes that's exactly what we do day in and day out.

00:45:50.402 --> 00:46:02.201
We teach women how to start and grow a house-saving business that they love, without being sharky, without taking advantage of people.

00:46:02.201 --> 00:46:12.420
So if you want to see how we may be able to work together, go to herfirstflipcom and fill out the application and book a call with our team.

00:46:12.420 --> 00:46:19.260
All right, until next time, go out there, flip houses like a girl and leave people in places better than you find them.

00:46:19.260 --> 00:46:21.525
Thanks, and make it a great day.

00:46:21.525 --> 00:46:22.599
Bye.
