[tomtarrant]

I'm doing an interview On Monday February 13 at 8 pm PST on Blog Talk Radio hosted by Jim The Realtor. You can call in or ask questions online about these projects and my house flipping business. Go to my site for the link for the show. Thanks for following everyone, hope to hear from you!

[thankennedy]

[esteeghee102795]

i hope thats not your house

[cdltpx]

Are people doing flips anymore since the realestate market has taken a dive? I see houses in Ca selling 39k 60K that were listed 300 plus 3 years ago. Houses in Flint selling for 5K 1K. Where we are the houses are still too expensive but they quit building them all over now they have scaled back building. The subdivisions that were under construction have not been completed there is a huge one that they are working on they would have been 90% by now if it were 3 years ago.

[deltagyrl95]

Very nice!

[TheSwords99]

Orbs are just dust flying around. One thing I never get is why people don't flush after they crap! Go in any men's room and see for yourself!

[TeamGetSilly]

[Blacktimberland13]

[Clothify]

[tylerthegnar210]

On the next episode of ghost hunters...

[summerdreams3000]

orb is a spirit. It means that your property that you sold is haunted. Congratulations

on selling. I am glad that you did. Best of luck. I can't believe that you got all those

orbs in the pictures. that is cool.

[sketchmo1]

bolts!!!! was that switch?

[Pimpcesschiefahontas]

This is one of te best Rehabs/flips, I have ever seen,no doubt! What a killer outcome.

[YZProductionz]

[CptCool2]

@YZProductionz T_T

[blaquestrength]

[jnnycliff]

It look like junk to me, but after 3min it turn to be my favorite house. Thank you for sharing!

[rafaelchavez1]

[CptCool2]

That's dust.

[superchargedM90]

How much did you spend on materials?

80-100k?

[hep5]

wow talk about a run down home... looks like a scene from a horror movie

[sicksk872]

lofl i thought it was a skateboard trick lol

[wizard4649]

ooops nevermind I figured it out, coffee kicked in

[wizard4649]

Tom, on the opening it shows you sold this in 13 days, then it shows a 6 month project. How long did it take you to complete. Thanks

[dukenthaylor]

Great job! You made it look like fun, and everything! And it seems there's a best-seller in your secret, so i know the publishers are beating a path to your door! BTW, can you disclose how long it took you to complete each remodeling phase, or what problems you ran into and how you overcame those? Just curious.

[wildwoodtop]

What stood out to me in this video beyond excellent craftsmanship, explicit style and class...is having a project, being your own man, creativity, a baby, a cookout, a beer, good tunes, good times and making money... Bravo! You Guys RAWK!

[vanohsk8]

Very impressive

[ramimer1]

A lots of work...how many times you went to see a masseuse ?

[irbid4]

"WOW" Man I give u Mad props Bro. good job...! U should be on there show. Man i could really learn from u. What was the investment and profit if u don't mind sharing.LOL.

[xcid1]

you need to get that house spiritually cleaned , theres dozens if not hundreds of orbs in these photos.

[tomtarrant]

sorry but what is an orb?

[crubini]

Like a ghost or sprit. the info said they took posession of the house with dead bodies inside. Now that is creepy.

[Sheillala2008]

@tomtarrant orbs are specs of dust that are blown up in photos taken by digital cameras that some people think are spirits...either the lens was dirty or i'm sure there was enough junk floating around in that place with the condition the place was in originally...but if you notice, there were no "orbs" in the after pix lol...anyway, amazing work...awesome video :-)

[Claymania7]

@tomtarrant orb is an artefact on photos lik at 0:38, like little points over, like drops

[1rralphh1]

dmn that is insanely sweet. \

house is beautiful afterwards

[BluDolls]

Now that's someone with Skills.

[tomtarrant]

I never get tired of watching this video. Killer rehab, great paycheck.

[catfishblues123]

I like the arches in the drywall and the openess of the space.

[AntonioE07]

Helluva job, my friend. Very impressive.

[keshia017]

I can't believe that is the same house

[pedrothemarine]

dead bodies? Better get the old mexican lady that walks on Broadway to get rid of all the malasuerte

[EmpireStrikesOut]

Armando is an idiot. He makes himself look like one, and he makes his company look like one. The way he does is business is not the way to success.

He's a 2 year old who needs to grow the fuck up (and so is his wife.)

Next?

[210REINVESTOR]

We met Armando and his wife and they seemed nice to us but we never did any business with him.

[investorism]

So Tom, you bought the property for 135,000. And sold it for 344,000. That's a profit of 209,000. Exactly how much did you spend on materials & labor costs?

[tomtarrant]

If I tell you that I'll have to kill you : )... Lets put it this way, figure what it would cost you to have it done and chop that in half. Happy investing!

[soysaucenwasabi]

@tomtarrant Let's just say you made $209k. Minus Materials: We'll say $50k but I know it's more. Capital Gains Taxes are at least 15%. Selling agents usually around 6%. You made $115,110. Split that with your wife. $57,555. So you make $55.34 an hour. Since it took you 6 months to finish this. I sit on my ass and make around the same. You should come work for me.

[proplan101]

@tomtarrant Not really, like sure its a small place but the pictures from before show that you used a big lump of cash to fix the place up, and im not saying bad job it looks great but not a big flip well money wise anyways unless you were paying discount on everything

[NycAttentionWhore]

@tomtarrant

how much for renovating?

[proplan101]

@investorism Aha true that ! the price for just the property doesn't really mean much

[kaox44]

Way to show amateur Armando how to flip, the house looks 100 time better then the cheap crap that Armando dumps out...although, Veronica is pretty hot to make people buy.

[waterwart]

Great Job....but I would just love to know what you spend and how much you really cleared after renovations.

[GuSxMan666]

on top of 135 grand, another 130-150 grand was invested i'd say, and yeah pretty much the rest is profit. well worth it.

[maryleep]

Great job.

[incisionsound]

that house screams 70's i wouldnt buy it maybe some old people would its way to retro for mr

[paultorres]

hell yeah how much is this house?>?? if its under 400 grand then ill buy

[zachlikescandy]

i was expecting to see a big flip on a skateboard :(

[cantankerouslandlord]

Unbelievable! I can't believe it's the same house. Excellent job.

[gproper]

Kick Ass indeed,French wood flooring,should have added a fountain in the front lawn for a price perk !

[marcos915]

the kitchen is kick ass man. Awesome job!

[chicana1968]

Beautiful. I want a house just like that.

[SOFIAgandako]

Wow. Nice work.

Same question, tho... how much did you spend in renovation? :)

[tomtarrant]

I can't disclose that... sorry....

[simonkodousek]

I would love to see the amount of money you spend on renovating and updating the house.

[tomtarrant]

You would be suprised how much bang for my buck I can get. The secret is getting "the look" without spending big bucks. Theres no travertine in this house, only porcelin. The cabinets are from Lowes, the ones you stain yourself. I stained them cheey to look expensive. The granite slab counter I do myself as well, they come prebullnosed from China for $10/sq. ft. Doing all the work yourself drags out the project but its how you make the big bucks. Thanks for the comments! -Tom

[gproper]

This Video made my day tom, Thanks !

And Congrats,Now go buy gold and silver !!!

[irishdan2020]

i would've figured your wife's name was jessica with that song selection. another great flip! i love the flips where you have to completely gut the house.

[nanaenanaja]

How much money did you spend?
