We Flipped the Most Rundown House in Masterton | 101-Year-Old Villa Transformation Begins 🏚️➡️🏡
In this episode, we take on our most rundown flip yet — a 1924 villa in Masterton, bought for just $225,000. It’s one of the oldest homes we’ve ever worked on… and honestly, one of the worst we’ve ever walked into.
Rotten floors. Crumbling walls. No insulation. And more issues hiding behind the plaster than we expected.
But at its core? It’s a beautiful piece of New Zealand history — and we’re bringing it back to life.
This is a full-scale restoration flip — no shortcuts. We’re planning to flip this villa within 8 weeks, and you’ll see every gritty, real moment from purchase to resale.
From why we chose Masterton, to how we plan to overcome the massive obstacles ahead, this vlog takes you deep into the mindset, numbers, and realities of flipping houses in New Zealand.
Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just love seeing old homes restored, this is one flip you don’t want to miss.
