So we got to work, found an amazing contractor, and learned all we could about flipping a house on a budget. Five and a half months later, we moved in!
Fortunately for us, we were able to work with the space within the house and didn't have to expand at all. This saved us a lot of money! The house was originally a 2 bedroom/1.5 bath with a dining room, sitting room, and work room. We were able to make the dining room a guest bedroom, the work room a master bedroom, the sitting room a dining room, and turned one of the original bedrooms into the master bathroom and closet. The finished product now has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths.
