Case Study · 01 · Lithonia, GA

The story, in short

Same house. Different read.

This isn't a generic guide. It's one deal, with the actual numbers, on a specific street in Lithonia. The PDF walks through every decision — what the consensus priced wrong, how we held the line on rehab, and the inspection negotiation that held our $354K when the appraisal came in low.

We offered 5759 Albans Way to our investor list at $178,500, with a $325K resale projection.

Nearly a dozen investors looked at it. Every one of them said the same two things: the house couldn't sell for over $300K, and the rehab would cost $100K. Nobody on the list took it.

We bought it ourselves. Did the rehab for $58K — $42K under what every investor predicted. Then we hit the market in a neighborhood with about 18 active competing listings, ran the same marketing engine we run on every TvG flip, and pulled four offers in two weeks. We took it under contract at $354,000.

Then the appraisal came in at $345K — $9K short. Because we'd already negotiated the appraisal contingency away in exchange for some inspection-repair concessions, the buyer covered the $9K out of pocket. We closed at the full $354,000.

The math the room was working with

$21,500 spread on paper. $117,500 spread in reality.

The math investors saw

$278,500 in. $300K out.

  • $178,500 acquisition
  • + $100,000 rehab (their estimate)
  • − $300,000 sale (their ceiling)
= $21,500 gross spread

Before holding, closing, commissions. Reasonable to pass.

The math we hit

$236,500 in. $354K out.

  • $178,500 acquisition
  • + $58,000 rehab (actual)
  • − $354,000 sale (actual)
= $117,500 gross spread

Same house. Same neighborhood. Different read.
