Do you think “My House Needs Fixed Up in Prairie Village!” “I Don’t want to Fix It Up!” “I Need to Sell My House Fast in Prairie Village!”
We partnered on a house in Prairie Village Kansas back in 2010 and we made some videos as we went. These videos really show how we go through a house and get it repaired. We are working to update these videos and content, but for now, here it is:
The Numbers on the House:
Purchase for $82,000 through a local bank contact.

This home was in need of a complete and total rehab including foundation repairs, rebuilding of walls, windows, siding, roof, concrete patio, new floors and did we mention it smelled so bad you could not spend too long in the house. We estimated repairs at about $80,000.
