We bought a $310,000 historic home in cash

Lindsay (32) and Tyler (34) are experienced house flippers who have purchased their ninth renovation project - a 1934 Craftsman style home in Springfield, Missouri. They paid $310,000 in cash for the 2,000+ square foot property, which features four bedrooms, two baths, an unfinished attic and basement, plus a detached carriage house with garage on a triple lot in a desirable historic neighborhood. The couple funded this cash purchase using proceeds from their previous home sale, allowing them to eliminate their mortgage and live debt-free. They have allocated $125,000 for renovations and have already spent $50,000 on improvements. Their renovation approach focuses on cosmetic updates like painting and decorating rather than major structural changes, as they aim to preserve the home's historic character. The couple follows a pattern of completing renovations on their current home, then moving to a new fixer-upper project, driven by their passion for renovation work.
