House flipping coach Debbie DeVere.
00:00:40.341 --> 00:00:42.207
Hey, thanks for hanging out with us today.
00:00:42.207 --> 00:00:47.304
In this episode, I'm going to introduce you to one of our flip sisters, diana.
00:00:47.304 --> 00:00:53.563
She's in Tennessee and her first 12 months of flipping houses it was just amazing.
00:00:53.563 --> 00:00:58.970
So three huge highlights One, she made over $150,000.
00:00:58.970 --> 00:01:03.143
Two, she retired her firefighter husband.
00:01:03.143 --> 00:01:06.650
And three, she tripled her family's income.
00:01:06.650 --> 00:01:09.100
What Isn't that amazing?
00:01:09.100 --> 00:01:12.647
Yes, it is totally amazing, and she will let you know.
00:01:12.647 --> 00:01:16.841
It is completely doable for you too, wherever you are.
00:01:16.841 --> 00:01:28.784
She's definitely a big proponent for coaching and mentoring and getting educated so that you can make smart decisions and you don't waste time trying to figure it out yourself.
00:01:28.784 --> 00:01:33.682
All right, without further delay, let's get into this conversation with Diana.
00:01:33.682 --> 00:01:35.064
You're going to love it.
00:01:35.064 --> 00:01:37.129
You know the thing.
00:01:37.129 --> 00:01:46.340
Start with your name who you are, where you are, what you were up to before you got into flipping, and are you still doing that, that sort of thing.
00:01:46.841 --> 00:01:48.885
Yeah, so my name's Diana.
00:01:48.885 --> 00:01:53.031
I'm 39 years old.
00:01:53.031 --> 00:01:57.343
I live in Chattanooga with my husband and our two girls.
00:01:57.343 --> 00:02:00.186
We have a four and a almost three-year-old.
00:02:00.186 --> 00:02:05.855
So that's been mostly my job for the last few years.
00:02:06.441 --> 00:02:07.986
I previously have been a teacher.
00:02:07.986 --> 00:02:16.590
I have a degree in anthropology, a master's degree in teaching, and kind of spent my 20s like traveling around and not knowing what I wanted to do.
00:02:16.590 --> 00:02:22.205
And every couple of years we're just like, oh, I'll be here for a little while, try this, be here for a little while, try that.
00:02:22.205 --> 00:02:31.360
And I've always just like, kind of like kept moving and that's kind of been my spiel is like I've been able to pivot, like if this wasn't the right relationship or if this wasn't the right job.
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:32.600
I've just kind of kept looking.
00:02:32.981 --> 00:02:36.004
But meanwhile I felt like at 30, I was like I still don't know what I want to do.
00:02:36.004 --> 00:02:37.787
I don't like teaching.
00:02:37.787 --> 00:02:47.362
I know I want to have a family, but my husband and we moved to Chattanooga and that like was a really steadying force for me and starting our family here.
00:02:47.362 --> 00:02:54.848
But even that I was still like pregnant with my daughter and like taking online classes at our local community college.
00:02:54.848 --> 00:03:02.600
I started a Google project management certificate and that was the first time where somebody was like have you thought about project manager?
00:03:02.600 --> 00:03:12.407
Cause I was trying to figure out, like I'm not really good at anything, like I'm not really good at like one thing, I'm kind of more of a generalist, like, uh, I can see big picture type of things.
00:03:12.407 --> 00:03:25.150
So started that and I think it was maybe I was pregnant or had the kids and a girlfriend sent me like a rich dad, poor dad video and my husband and I got into that.
00:03:25.150 --> 00:03:30.260
You know YouTube rabbit hole, learning about passive income, and you know our minds are like what are we?
00:03:30.301 --> 00:03:33.288
doing Like why are we spending all our time at jobs that we hate?
00:03:33.288 --> 00:03:34.793
And blah, blah, blah.
00:03:34.793 --> 00:03:36.421
He has.
00:03:36.421 --> 00:03:44.407
So my husband's definitely my partner in all of this and has been along this whole train, so I'll talk about him a little bit.
00:03:44.407 --> 00:03:46.643
But he has more of an entrepreneurial background.
00:03:46.643 --> 00:03:55.330
He had started a couple like businesses with his brothers and they didn't necessarily weren't super successful, but taught him different skills.
00:03:55.330 --> 00:03:58.626
So he was on board basically getting into real estate.
00:03:58.626 --> 00:04:03.405
His brother was actually like, oh, we should look at, we're talking about passive income, we should really talk about short term rentals.
00:04:03.405 --> 00:04:05.088
So that that's the house that I'm.
00:04:05.088 --> 00:04:16.125
This bedroom I'm in is actually, um, the house that we bought with his brother and, uh, our sister-in-law, and this is the house that we got into right before I joined your program.
00:04:16.125 --> 00:04:18.730
So I'm like I have two babies at home.
00:04:18.752 --> 00:04:21.404
My husband's working full-time as a fire fighter.
00:04:21.404 --> 00:04:24.572
Uh, he was wrapping up a farm that they were working on.
00:04:24.572 --> 00:04:24.872
We fire fighter.
00:04:24.872 --> 00:04:25.954
He was wrapping up a farm that they were working on.
00:04:25.954 --> 00:04:30.843
We're like let's buy this house and renovate it ourselves and do all the work ourselves and all the decor and paint and everything which we loved.
00:04:30.843 --> 00:04:40.324
That part and that's definitely something I'm learning was like I love the buying of the house and the making it beautiful and and thinking about like how do we make this better for this next person?
00:04:40.324 --> 00:04:44.713
But the management aspect of it I don't love.
00:04:44.954 --> 00:04:48.783
There is nothing passive about managing short-term rental.
00:04:48.783 --> 00:04:50.745
No, it is high touch.
00:04:51.307 --> 00:04:51.848
Everything.
00:04:51.848 --> 00:04:54.860
Yeah, yes, and so, yeah, that's what I was like.
00:04:54.860 --> 00:05:03.494
We bought it in December and we put it on the market in October and we still had to refinance out of it and it's like this thing doesn't stop.
00:05:03.494 --> 00:05:15.586
Then it's now you have all these people coming and messages that have to get sent back and forth, and so I was like I thought this was supposed to be passive, and my dad was actually the one that was like you guys should be flipping houses.
00:05:15.586 --> 00:05:17.461
And we're like, no, no, no, dad, you don't know what you're talking about.
00:05:17.461 --> 00:05:18.923
Like we need to be doing short-term rentals.
00:05:18.923 --> 00:05:28.879
And I just remember, oh, so our, our county, our city, uh, banned like all new short-term rentals in the meantime.
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:37.160
So we had already bought this house, we were able to get it to be a short-term rental, but in the meantime, like there goes our pipe dream of like we'll just buy five short-term rentals and like retire happily.
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.307
And you know that didn't happen.
00:05:39.307 --> 00:05:41.141
So we're like, okay, we need to pivot.
00:05:41.283 --> 00:05:46.911
So, um, I saw an advertisement for your group and it really, really resonated with me.
00:05:46.911 --> 00:05:49.033
My husband's like very stubborn, I'll do it myself.
00:05:49.033 --> 00:05:56.567
And from his background, what he grew up seeing was like you have to do it yourself.
00:05:56.567 --> 00:05:57.733
You can't afford to hire people to do everything.
00:05:57.733 --> 00:05:59.300
You're not going to make any money if you do it that way.
00:05:59.300 --> 00:06:04.632
I'm like, oh yeah, well, I see other people doing it and they're not doing it all themselves.
00:06:04.632 --> 00:06:11.560
So like, pretty sure, we could probably learn how to do it a different way, but we'll try it your way too.
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:13.630
So that's kind of been our, our spell.
00:06:13.630 --> 00:06:27.415
So I joined your program like right as we were ending up, this one got this refinanced, went through the whole process of all the modules and learnings and stuff and then started looking for our first house to actually flip, to sell all the modules and learnings and stuff and then started looking for our first house to actually flip to sell.
00:06:27.435 --> 00:06:29.858
You've since done two and you still have your short-term rental.
00:06:29.858 --> 00:06:31.202
Do do I remember something?
00:06:31.202 --> 00:06:43.411
You posting something in the group that maybe you're selling it or selling your interest in it.
00:06:43.430 --> 00:06:59.285
Yeah, we family members and, um, you know, trying to keep relationships and you know, yeah, well, even last summer my husband's like over here because he doesn't want to hire someone to do the.
00:06:59.285 --> 00:07:01.108
We have a pool and a hot tub.
00:07:01.108 --> 00:07:03.540
You know, this is a big place, it's a 10 person place.
00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:07.449
So he's over here like cleaning the hot tub every week and the pool and a hot tub you know this is a big place, it's a 10 person place.
00:07:07.449 --> 00:07:08.892
So he's over here like cleaning the hot tub every week and the pool.
00:07:08.913 --> 00:07:16.903
And just like, because we thought we would do it ourselves and because we have partners like to add in, a property manager just takes away a lot of that.
00:07:16.903 --> 00:07:21.783
If it was just Mike, mike, my husband and I and then the property manager, that would make sense.
00:07:21.783 --> 00:07:27.567
But when you keep cutting that piece of the pie, it's like is it really worth it for like this much money?
00:07:27.567 --> 00:07:28.632
But for right now.
00:07:28.632 --> 00:07:36.192
For right now we've got somebody you know handling the hot tub and stuff and so for right now we're keeping it.
00:07:36.192 --> 00:07:39.807
But yeah, that could change in six months.
00:07:41.872 --> 00:07:42.173
We'll see.
00:07:42.173 --> 00:07:53.560
We'll see.
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:55.223
Okay, so you have since bought and renovated and sold two flips.
00:07:55.223 --> 00:07:57.769
Yes, take us through your first purchase, even though it's your second sale.
00:07:57.769 --> 00:08:01.502
Does that make sense to do it that way, or how do you think it makes sense to do?
00:08:02.925 --> 00:08:05.632
um, I would say just like chronologically Perfect, let's do it.
00:08:05.632 --> 00:08:09.149
I joined your program, started going through the modules.
00:08:09.149 --> 00:08:13.565
I had a great real estate agent as a friend and she was taking us.
00:08:13.565 --> 00:08:16.846
We started looking at houses on the MLS and this is still kind of things.
00:08:16.846 --> 00:08:20.862
We're still kind of crazy and going over even houses we would go to.
00:08:20.862 --> 00:08:24.127
We went to one house that's like hadn't been touched since 1950.
00:08:24.127 --> 00:08:29.875
And there were like 20 people there with somebody had already paid an inspector who's like there with his clipboard.
00:08:29.875 --> 00:08:32.308
We're like what is going on here?
00:08:32.308 --> 00:08:41.830
So we're like, okay, did that for like a month, put out some, put some offers on things, and it wasn't getting too much traction.
00:08:41.830 --> 00:08:45.888
But that was just such a good process of getting out there and looking at houses and putting an offer.
00:08:45.888 --> 00:08:50.602
So then I started looking for wholesalers, got on everybody's email list.
00:08:50.602 --> 00:08:56.421
They started sending me things and this house he had sent it to me.
00:08:56.421 --> 00:09:12.032
He followed up with me and I looked at it and compared to the other houses that we had been looking at, this house had already been demoed and the top floor it had already passed all its rough ends and the top floor was drywalled.
00:09:12.032 --> 00:09:26.774
It was like very clean, you know, compared to all these houses we're walking in that are full of garbage, that smell like cat urine, that like are a mess, we're like, oh, this house, we're just going to get in and get out and put some tile on it, like, yeah, this looks great.
00:09:26.774 --> 00:09:34.033
That house we kept for 11 months and just that was the house that we just finished.
00:09:34.033 --> 00:09:37.230
So lots of learnings with that one, but that's OK.
00:09:37.660 --> 00:09:39.769
So, biggest things we came into right away.
00:09:39.769 --> 00:09:41.342
It didn't have.
00:09:41.342 --> 00:09:46.602
It had an electrical power pole, temporary power pole in the front yard, and I didn't know what that meant.
00:09:46.602 --> 00:09:50.136
But we had to go through the permitting process.
00:09:50.136 --> 00:10:00.130
We had called the city to see like where we were in the permitting process before we even closed on that house, and they were like they couldn't tell us or I don't know.
00:10:00.130 --> 00:10:03.082
We just kept getting like different answers to things.
00:10:03.082 --> 00:10:07.611
And we talked to some people and they'd be like, oh yeah, you know it'd be fine, you just pull your final.
00:10:07.611 --> 00:10:11.888
And then other people would say, I don't know, it depends on your inspector, and then the people at the city.
00:10:11.888 --> 00:10:16.221
So once we finally, well, we can get to that.
00:10:16.221 --> 00:10:18.567
But, um, we put an offer.
00:10:18.567 --> 00:10:20.931
They were asking 195.
00:10:20.931 --> 00:10:23.014
We offered 185.
00:10:23.014 --> 00:10:30.063
We settled at 190.
00:10:30.063 --> 00:10:30.745
The electrical wasn't complete.
00:10:30.745 --> 00:10:32.428
They had told us it was complete, so we got a five grand off for that.
00:10:32.448 --> 00:10:39.187
So we ended up paying one 85 for it and this was a wholesale deal, wholesale Nice.
00:10:39.187 --> 00:10:42.621
Did somebody else already start the flip and they needed out?
00:10:44.046 --> 00:10:48.803
Yeah, yeah, and he was like a local guy and this kind of you know ran out of money.
00:10:49.304 --> 00:10:53.052
Yeah, okay, so you found it through a wholesaler and that one.
00:10:53.052 --> 00:10:56.083
How did you finance that so?
00:10:57.125 --> 00:11:08.573
originally I was going to use a hard money lender and then we had refinanced out of this house so we had some cash to bring to it and so we were going to cover some of it and use a hard money lender.
00:11:08.573 --> 00:11:10.203
I found a lady.
00:11:10.203 --> 00:11:22.447
Her terms looked good, she was recommended in another group, but we were going out of town and I was trying to get it to close before we left and she didn't close before we left.
00:11:22.447 --> 00:11:23.160
We go to town.
00:11:23.160 --> 00:11:25.807
And she was like, oh, just, we'll move it back to this day.
00:11:25.807 --> 00:11:29.400
And literally I spent all of that week like, okay, we're going to close on this day.
00:11:29.400 --> 00:11:36.181
I'm getting on the plane and she's letting me know like the last minute, like this is not going to close on Friday, it's going to have to be next week.
00:11:36.181 --> 00:11:40.042
And I was like, lady, we've already pushed this back once I'm.
00:11:40.442 --> 00:11:48.163
It was really that was my first like closings for me have been stressful.
00:11:48.163 --> 00:11:54.794
So I remember I got home and I love myself, like got a little upset.
00:11:54.794 --> 00:11:58.788
And then I called, picked up the phone and I called my dad and I told him what happened.
00:11:58.788 --> 00:12:02.226
I was not expecting anything from him but he was like how much do you need?
00:12:02.226 --> 00:12:03.750
What's the interest rate?
00:12:03.750 --> 00:12:04.614
Are we going to do on this?
00:12:04.614 --> 00:12:08.370
So, anyways, he ended up bringing, allowing us to bring cash to close.
00:12:08.370 --> 00:12:09.634
What did you pay?
00:12:09.634 --> 00:12:10.937
You paid 185.
00:12:12.066 --> 00:12:14.570
And what were you thinking the renovation would be?
00:12:15.532 --> 00:12:18.738
Okay, so we originally had thought around 80 K.
00:12:18.738 --> 00:12:29.174
Okay, um, I got back, I went back and looked at my like original scope of work and we were going to put in like granite countertops and do kind of like a mid range.
00:12:29.174 --> 00:12:35.725
Once we had got in and we relooked at okay, our square footage and our numbers, cause it had a full basement that he had just.
00:12:35.764 --> 00:12:38.614
Oh yeah, this is that one, yeah, yeah, okay, our square footage and our numbers because it had a full basement that he had just.
00:12:38.614 --> 00:12:40.700
Yeah, so both of our flips actually had full basements.
00:12:40.700 --> 00:12:47.057
He had already framed out the basement of this one and cleaned it out, and so he was going to do it as like a five bedroom.
00:12:47.057 --> 00:12:53.594
We took it down to a four bedroom, made it into like a little um apartment, mother-in-law suite kind of thing in the basement.
00:12:53.594 --> 00:13:00.965
So we ended up spending $135,000.
00:13:02.306 --> 00:13:07.236
So okay, Did you borrow purchase and renovation from your dad?
00:13:07.236 --> 00:13:07.697
Everything.
00:13:08.985 --> 00:13:15.077
No, I had a $200,000 loan from him, so that was like $185,000 plus a little bit.
00:13:15.924 --> 00:13:16.186
And then?
00:13:16.186 --> 00:13:18.086
So how did you finance the rest of things?
00:13:18.086 --> 00:13:19.649
Oh, was it from your cash out?
00:13:20.529 --> 00:13:23.375
Yeah From, yeah From us.
00:13:23.716 --> 00:13:24.057
From you.
00:13:24.859 --> 00:13:25.318
From your pocket.
00:13:25.318 --> 00:13:27.626
Okay, yeah From us.
00:13:27.626 --> 00:13:30.450
Yeah, okay From that one, yeah.
00:13:30.990 --> 00:13:35.876
And then so that thing took 11 months, so that thing took 11 months.
00:13:35.876 --> 00:13:36.998
What, what happened there?
00:13:36.998 --> 00:13:38.559
What what?
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:39.880
Yeah, let's go through that.
00:13:46.245 --> 00:13:55.354
So we get in and we immediately like I have subs coming in, we're looking at it and we're getting electricians and and at that point I had talked to some what I now know as key contractors and so I had both GCs come in to look at it.
00:13:55.354 --> 00:13:57.558
They never really got back to me, they were busy.
00:13:57.558 --> 00:13:59.633
They were like you know, it'll be three months from now.
00:13:59.633 --> 00:14:01.110
I'm like I can't wait three months.
00:14:01.110 --> 00:14:07.164
Probably now they probably could have done it in three months and still been done faster, but that's okay.
00:14:07.164 --> 00:14:24.708
So how to keep contractors come in, and at this point my husband you know it's going to be like I'll do it, you know it's, we can do this, we just got done doing this house, like we can do this.
00:14:24.708 --> 00:14:24.990
So like, okay.
00:14:24.990 --> 00:14:25.751
So we had this key contractor come in.
00:14:25.751 --> 00:14:27.115
The permitting was like our, our little wrench.
00:14:27.115 --> 00:14:32.908
So we it took us a little while Like we realized we had to have a GC to pull, re-pull the builder's permit.
00:14:32.908 --> 00:14:37.318
So we called in a favor with someone that we knew that was like builder's permit.
00:14:37.318 --> 00:14:44.791
So we called in a favor with someone that we knew that was like you know, that's a GC, who knows my husband, who knows he does good work, like he can come and pull the permit for us.
00:14:44.791 --> 00:14:45.432
Yeah, so we got through that.
00:14:45.432 --> 00:14:47.116
Then it was the electrical and plumbing.
00:14:47.116 --> 00:14:54.336
And we found through the permitting office the person who pulled the original electrical permit.
00:14:54.336 --> 00:15:13.152
And so because we're bringing in other electricians and they seemed a little bit unsure about the whole city thing, and I'm like, okay, I'm like so let's just find the original guy that you know did it, and he came in and he was like, oh yeah, well, I didn't do the work, but you know I can do it.
00:15:13.152 --> 00:15:17.621
We're like, okay, cool, um, so he started working on it.
00:15:17.621 --> 00:15:22.633
We found a plumber that said he would come in and they started.
00:15:22.633 --> 00:15:25.499
We wanted to change just a couple of things.
00:15:25.499 --> 00:15:28.732
So they kind of redid the rough in Meanwhile.
00:15:28.732 --> 00:15:33.989
We got started in the outside, redid all the windows, redid all the siding, um, added a back deck, um.
00:15:33.989 --> 00:15:35.811
So we were trying to like do what we could.
00:15:35.811 --> 00:15:43.539
And then it was like we just reached a point where we were trying to pull the permit and it was.
00:15:43.539 --> 00:15:58.043
It was just, I don't even know, debbie, like what happened between, I would say, our rough in permits finally re-pulled maybe two or three months to get, because we ended up having a re-pull and the like.
00:15:58.043 --> 00:16:01.379
The electrical inspector didn't make us open walls, but the plumbing inspector did.
00:16:01.379 --> 00:16:07.996
So we had to reopen all the walls to redo the rough and permitting, yeah, yeah.
00:16:07.996 --> 00:16:16.052
And then from that point then we started going and, um, we had to re-pull, we had to put down the flooring, we had to re-pull, we had to put down the flooring.
00:16:16.052 --> 00:16:26.393
We had to re-pull that up because of a pipe that we changed out of vanity, from a double, from a single to a double, and the plumber didn't put the cap on the pipe and luckily I walked in.
00:16:26.393 --> 00:16:27.378
It had been less than an hour.
00:16:27.437 --> 00:16:33.606
But there's like water pouring out of the um wall and down into the basement we had.
00:16:33.606 --> 00:16:37.827
You know it's dry walled, it's like the flooring was done.
00:16:37.827 --> 00:16:52.238
So like I call my husband he's over at the other house, which is right across the street comes over, drills a hole in the floor to like get the water to go down, and like I do know where the water valve turnoff is, I just it was a weird valve and I didn't know.
00:16:52.238 --> 00:17:00.626
It just didn't look.
00:17:00.626 --> 00:17:02.052
It wasn't like you could just turn it.
00:17:02.052 --> 00:17:02.715
I didn't know, I don't know.
00:17:02.715 --> 00:17:03.679
So that was something that you know.
00:17:03.700 --> 00:17:04.924
We had to redo some drywall down in the basement.
00:17:04.924 --> 00:17:07.606
We had a toilet leak from when they installed the toilet.
00:17:07.606 --> 00:17:08.748
We had to redo that drywall in the basement.
00:17:08.748 --> 00:17:12.571
Um, I think, yeah, our plumber, our electrician, he just didn't show up.
00:17:12.571 --> 00:17:21.261
He just didn't come, like he did the rough in work, we got the rough in permit re-polled and then he just like got busy on other jobs and never showed up.
00:17:21.261 --> 00:17:40.569
And my husband and his dad and um, we have a family member who works for electrical company that like came and helped us get it done and I mean he, you know, came back over and looked at what we had done and but that was we were because we were working with the permitting department and it was taking us so long.
00:17:40.569 --> 00:17:44.198
I didn't want to switch plumbers or electricians again.
00:17:44.198 --> 00:17:51.159
Now, I know, now I would have a lot sooner, but you just want to give people the benefit of the doubt.
00:17:51.424 --> 00:17:55.051
I know, but that's the biggest lesson Like it it's.
00:17:55.051 --> 00:17:57.257
It's one of the biggest lessons we have to learn.
00:17:57.257 --> 00:17:58.118
I'm glad you learned it.
00:17:58.118 --> 00:17:59.391
You learned it way faster than I did.
00:17:59.391 --> 00:18:00.990
It took me like four or five years.
00:18:00.990 --> 00:18:02.651
So, yeah, it's hard.
00:18:02.651 --> 00:18:08.291
It's hard because we think, well, at least we know what we're in here, like, we know what to expect.
00:18:08.291 --> 00:18:11.690
They're not going to show up, or they might show up one day, you know.
00:18:11.690 --> 00:18:16.115
And it's like who knows, when we start this new relationship with somebody else, what's going to happen?
00:18:16.115 --> 00:18:17.898
Are they going to just do the same thing?
00:18:17.898 --> 00:18:19.681
Yeah, it's tough.
00:18:19.681 --> 00:18:22.625
It's tough, this whole managing people thing.
00:18:22.846 --> 00:18:40.452
Yeah, yes, and then when you add like not even just the plumber and the electrician, when you add in the city and the permitting, like this is a, there are a lot of relationships and like I felt like maybe the plumber didn't have a great relationship with them and they were kind of like messing with him a little bit.
00:18:40.452 --> 00:18:48.467
I don't know, though, and then I've also heard that the city, their website, sucks, and so the I would check in with my plumber and say hey, did you pull the permadeat?
00:18:48.467 --> 00:18:49.608
Oh yeah, I pulled it.
00:18:49.608 --> 00:18:53.094
Okay, well, they haven't shown up yet, and sometimes they show up like within a couple days.
00:18:53.094 --> 00:18:58.142
So you know, if it goes a week or two later, you know I finally had to call the inspector myself.
00:18:58.182 --> 00:19:06.007
He's like well, I really don't like, you know we don't like talking to the homeowners you know I prefer to talk to the plumber and I'm like but do you have our inspection?
00:19:06.007 --> 00:19:06.448
Like?
00:19:06.448 --> 00:19:08.432
And he's like no, I don't have it.
00:19:08.432 --> 00:19:10.557
It's like okay, well, I need to know this.
00:19:10.557 --> 00:19:13.419
So that was another like.
00:19:13.419 --> 00:19:15.059
We literally did not pass.
00:19:15.059 --> 00:19:21.762
These people were had their moving truck down the street ready to move into our house and we had not passed our final occupancy.
