It all started here in 2020 when this crazy couple embarked on a transformative journey that would reshape not only homes but also their lives. Drawing on their unique skills and experiences, they founded TacoSid Properties β a real estate "fix and flip" company that would breathe new life into distressed homes.
Mike, with a background in filming architects, designers, and home renovations for HGTV and DIY Channel, brought a keen eye for detail and a passion for capturing the essence of extraordinary transformations. His storytelling prowess translated seamlessly into the world of real estate, where every property had a story waiting to be told.
Mel, on the other hand, leveraged her organizational expertise gained from her tenure at HP. Her meticulous planning and strategic approach were instrumental in navigating the complexities of home renovation budgets and timelines. Together, they formed a powerhouse team that could not only identify the undiscovered potential in distressed homes but also bring them back to their former glory with a modern touch.
Their journey began with scouting neglected properties, hidden gems that had lost their luster over the years. Mike's experience in showcasing the beauty of home transformations on television played a crucial role in envisioning the possibilities within these seemingly forgotten structures.
Mel's organizational prowess came into play during the meticulous planning phase. From budgeting and scheduling to coordinating with contractors and suppliers, she ensured that every step of the process was executed seamlessly. Her expertise in streamlining operations allowed the duo to maximize efficiency and minimize costs.
Their dedication to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail quickly gained the attention of real estate investors and potential homeowners alike. Investors liking the ROI on their investments. Homeowners LOVING their well appointed homes that continue to stay true to their original style.
In a world where every distressed home told a story of neglect, Mike and Mel rewrote the narrative, turning dilapidated structures into vibrant homes that stood as a testament to resilience, vision, and the power of transformation. Through their real estate endeavors, they not only revitalized properties and neighborhoods, but also inspired others to see the potential for beauty in the overlooked corners of life.
Here are a few snapshots of that first transformation ::
A bit about us.
We transformed this distraught 1890 home by breathing new life into itβs bones from top to bottom, inside and out. From a new roof and foundation, to reimagined interior spaces throughout and bracing and plumbing for a future second story build, this former condemned $15K house turned into a $200K starter home for a beautiful family. And Mike and Mel couldnβt be happier.
