Eight years and more than eighty completed residential projects, from cosmetic remodels to full structural renovations with major additions. The selection below is a sample with the numbers attached — purchase, renovation cost, and exit on each one, with before and after photography on every project. Open any line for the full figures.
These figures cover only the projects shown on this page. They are a sample of more than eighty completed projects, not portfolio totals, and not a full record of the business.
All spread figures on this page are gross. Commissions, closing costs, holding costs, and financing are not deducted. Net proceeds on each project are lower, and by how much depends on how the deal was financed and sold. I will walk through the full net accounting on any project with a serious investor.

Spread is gross — before commissions, closing costs, and holding costs.
In progress
Currently under construction. The figures below are projections, not results — renovation budgets rather than actual spend, and underwritten exits rather than sale prices. They are excluded from everything above for exactly that reason.
Projections are not results. These exits are what each project is underwritten to based on closed comparables at the time of acquisition; nothing here has sold, and actual outcomes will differ. Judge them against the completed record above, not alongside it.
Method
I look for anything that creates an opportunity: underutilized properties, square footage plays, functionally bad homes, physical distress, and sellers in distressed situations. The common thread is a property priced for what it is rather than what it could be.
Then execution. We move quickly, order long-lead materials early, sequence the trades tightly, and manage the job closely enough that the schedule holds. That is what gets these projects finished fast and economically.
And underwrite the exit conservatively. I price the sale off closed comparables, not active listings, and I do not underwrite appreciation. If a deal only works because the market goes up, it is not a deal — it is a bet. Most of what I look at fails this test and never gets an offer, which is the reason the projects that do make it here perform the way they do.
