Our First Property Flip: Lessons in Risk, Renovation, and Reward


Listen Later

Ever wonder what happens when two REALTORS decide to flip a house? Spoiler alert: it involves $300 daily interest payments, midnight trips to Home Depot, and playing hide-and-seek in an unfinished living room. Join Mony and Sophaline as they dish on their first flip adventure - transforming a 2,300 sq ft fixer-upper into a showstopper in just five weeks. Mony confesses to budget surprises ("I thought $1,500 for the pool... oops, try $7,500") and shares the unglamorous side of flipping that TV shows conveniently skip. Between bribing workers with lunch, scraping windows with razor blades, and discovering that "everything costs a little bit more," the couple reveals why this project became their "firstborn child." The episode offers a gold mine of advice for aspiring flippers, from hard money loan realities to why you should never let your handyman play electrician. Their tale of transformation goes beyond profit margins to the joy of creating a turnkey dream where a family can immediately build memories - after they've finished playing hide-and-seek, of course.
