How Cash Offer Man Flipped This House on Sir Lords Lane in Hazelwood, MO

By Aaron Eller, Founder β€” Cash Offer Man | St. Louis, Missouri

April 24, 2026


I want to take you inside one of our deals from start to finish β€” not a polished highlight reel, but the real thing. Every phone call, every negotiation, every line item on the rehab budget, every decision about what to fix and what to skip, the listing strategy, the open house, the offers, and the final number that landed in our pocket when the dust settled.

The house was on Sir Lords Lane in Hazelwood, Missouri. It was a 1,100 square foot, three-bedroom, one-bath brick ranch built in 1962. It had been owned by the same family for 38 years. When we got involved, it was dated, distressed, and sitting in a market where properly renovated homes were selling in the high $180,000s to low $200,000s. The seller needed out. We saw the opportunity clearly.

This is the complete story.

Hazelwood, MO Home Buyer

How a Local Home Buyer Buys Houses

At Cash Offer Man, our leads come from several channels that we have built and refined over years of operating in the St. Louis market. This particular property came through our direct mail program β€” a campaign we run targeting homeowners who have owned their property for more than 20 years, are over 65 years old, and whose properties show indicators of potential distress: delinquent tax history, code violation records, or homes that have not changed hands in the public record for a very long time.

The homeowner β€” I will call her Ms. Bauer β€” was 71 years old. She had lived in the Sir Lords Lane house since 1986. Her husband had passed away three years earlier, and the house had become difficult for her to manage alone. She had been receiving mail from multiple home buyers, including us, for about 18 months. She finally called in late September.

The call lasted about 25 minutes. This is important to understand about how we work: the first call is never a sales pitch. It is a conversation. I asked her to tell me about the house, about her situation, and about what she was hoping to accomplish. I learned that she wanted to move to an independent living community in St. Charles County to be closer to her daughter. She was not in financial distress β€” she owned the home free and clear β€” but she did not want the hassle of listing the property. She did not want strangers walking through at all hours of the day for months. She did not want to negotiate repairs with buyers after an inspection. She was 71 years old and tired, and she wanted someone to handle it.

That is exactly what we do.


What Does a Cash Buyer Need to Make an Offer

We scheduled the walkthrough for the following Thursday morning. I walked through the house with Ms. Bauer herself, which is always preferable to a vacant property assessment because the seller can provide context that changes how you read what you are seeing.

What I found:

The exterior: Solid brick structure with no visible foundation issues. The roof was approximately 14 years old β€” showing some wear but not at replacement stage immediately. Gutters were clogged and pulling away from the fascia in one section. The front walkway had several heaved sections from tree root activity. The lawn was overgrown. The driveway had significant cracking and discoloration.

The interior: Original kitchen with laminate countertops, oak cabinet fronts, a 20-year-old dishwasher, a mismatched refrigerator, and a gas range that worked but was visually outdated. The laminate flooring in the kitchen had lifting seams. Original hardwood floors under carpet throughout the living room, dining room, and all three bedrooms. One bathroom β€” original 1962 tile in pastel green, original vanity with brass hardware, original toilet and tub.

Mechanical systems: HVAC system had been replaced in 2011 β€” so approximately 13 years old at the time of our assessment. Functional but aging. The water heater was 9 years old and in acceptable condition. The electrical panel had been upgraded to 150-amp service sometime in the 1990s β€” functional but with a few double-tapped breakers I noted for the rehab list. The plumbing was a mix of original galvanized and copper that had been partially replaced at some point.

Basement: Unfinished, which is exactly what we want in a property like this β€” no finished surfaces to remediate if there is moisture history. There was evidence of prior water intrusion along the north wall: a white mineral efflorescence line running about two feet up from the floor. Not actively wet, but a history of seepage that we would need to address.

Overall condition assessment: This was a solid-bones 1962 brick ranch that needed a full cosmetic renovation, several mechanical updates, and a basement waterproofing treatment. It was not a structural disaster. It was a home that had been well-maintained for its era and then gradually allowed to age in place as the owner’s capacity to keep up with it diminished.

The ARV β€” After Repair Value β€” based on comparable sales within a half-mile of the property was clear from the market data. Updated three-bedroom ranches in Hazelwood in similar locations were selling in the $189,000 to $204,000 range. I pulled five comparable sales from the prior six months and landed on a conservative ARV of $199,000 as my target sale price.


Cash Offer Man Gives an All Cash Offer in 24 Hours

The formula I use to arrive at a cash offer is straightforward: ARV minus estimated rehab costs minus my minimum profit margin minus estimated selling costs equals the maximum offer I can make.

Walking through the numbers at the time of offer:

  • ARV: $199,000
  • Estimated rehab costs: $61,400 (detailed below)
  • Estimated selling costs: $15,200 (agent commission, closing costs, concessions)
  • Estimated holding costs: $6,800 (utilities, insurance, taxes for the projected 4-month rehab period)
  • Target profit margin: $35,000
  • Maximum offer calculation: $199,000 βˆ’ $61,400 βˆ’ $15,200 βˆ’ $6,800 βˆ’ $35,000 = $80,600

I presented Ms. Bauer with an offer of $79,000 in cash, with a 21-day closing timeline. I explained how I arrived at the number, line by line. I showed her the comparable sales. I showed her my rehab estimate. I was transparent about the fact that we would be making a profit β€” that is the nature of the business β€” and I explained exactly where that profit came from: the risk of the renovation, the capital investment, and the work of bringing the home back to its maximum value.

She did not accept immediately. She told me she had also received an offer from another buyer at $72,000. I did not know that going in, but our offer was already higher. She also told me she had spoken with a real estate agent who suggested she could list the property for $149,000 as-is. We discussed what that would actually mean in practice: months of showings, a buyer’s inspection likely generating demands for significant repairs, the uncertainty of whether the sale would close at all given the home’s condition and the FHA/conventional financing limitations on a home in this state.

After a week of consideration and a follow-up phone call with her daughter present, Ms. Bauer accepted our offer of $79,000. We were under contract within five business days of the initial offer.

Contract terms:

  • Purchase price: $79,000
  • Earnest money deposit: $2,500 (held by title company)
  • Inspection period: None (cash purchase, as-is)
  • Closing date: October 24
  • Seller to leave all items in the home β€” furniture, personal belongings, kitchen contents β€” and we would handle the cleanout

That last term β€” cleanout included β€” was something Ms. Bauer specifically valued. She did not have the physical capacity to empty a house she had lived in for 38 years. She took the personal items she wanted: family photographs, a few pieces of furniture her daughter wanted, her china cabinet. Everything else became our responsibility.


The Closing Timeline for a Local Home Buyer in St. Louis

We closed on October 24 at a local title company. The closing statement reflected:

ItemAmount
Purchase price$79,000
Earnest money credit($2,500)
Title insurance (buyer’s policy)$620
Settlement/closing fee$450
Recording fees$75
Property tax proration (seller credit to buyer)($847)
Total cash to close$76,798

With the title insurance and closing fees, our actual acquisition cost was $77,648 all in. We took the title with a General Warranty Deed. The transaction was clean β€” no title issues, no liens, no encumbrances beyond the standard items.

We had a locksmith on-site the afternoon of closing. By that evening, the house was ours.


The Cleanout

Before rehab could begin, the house needed to be emptied and cleaned. This is a step that gets overlooked in a lot of flip case studies, but it is real work with real costs. This is our speciality, we buy hoarder houses with junk all the time in St. Louis.

Ms. Bauer had left behind decades of accumulated belongings. Every closet was full. The basement had furniture, boxes, holiday decorations, and the accumulated detritus of 38 years of family life. The garage had tools, lawn equipment, and more boxes.

We contracted a local junk removal company for a two-day cleanout. Anything with resale value went to an estate liquidator we work with regularly β€” a portion of the proceeds from sellable items partially offset the cleanout cost. Everything else went to the truck.

Cleanout cost: $1,400 Estate sale proceeds offset: ($320) Net cleanout cost: $1,080

How to Flip a House in St. Louis

The rehab took 14 weeks to complete, which was slightly longer than our initial 12-week projection. Two factors caused the delay: a three-week wait for the custom quartz countertop to arrive (supply chain issue with our fabricator), and a week lost to weather delays during exterior work in December. We completed the rehab and were ready to list in early February.

Here is every dollar we spent:

Foundation and Structural Work Costs

Basement waterproofing β€” north wall: We brought in a waterproofing contractor who applied a crystalline waterproofing membrane to the interior north wall, added a weeping tile system along that wall connected to the existing sump pit, and extended the downspout discharge from the north corner further from the foundation. Cost: $3,200

Front walkway replacement: The heaved concrete sections were removed and replaced with new poured concrete. We extended the walkway slightly to create a more welcoming approach to the front door. Cost: $1,800

Roof, Exterior, and Curb Appeal

Roof inspection and repair: The 14-year-old roof did not need full replacement, but we had the roofing contractor replace two deteriorated sections near the chimney flashing and reseal all penetrations. A written five-year certification of condition was issued, which we kept for the listing packet. Cost: $1,450

Gutters: Full gutter replacement with 6-inch aluminum seamless gutters and gutter guards. Old gutters had pulling-away sections and significant leaf blockage. Cost: $2,100

Exterior paint β€” trim, soffits, fascia, shutters: Fresh paint on all non-brick exterior surfaces in a warm white with classic black shutters. Significantly improved the street presentation. Cost: $2,200

Garage door replacement: Original 1962 single-car door replaced with a new insulated steel door. The old door was wooden, warped, and on its last mechanical leg. Cost: $1,600

Entry door replacement: New fiberglass entry door with decorative glass panels in a clean, contemporary profile. Painted black to complement the shutters. Cost: $2,100

Driveway sealing and crack repair: Crack filling and two-coat driveway sealer applied. Transformed the visual appearance of the approach. Cost: $450

Landscaping refresh: Removed several overgrown foundation shrubs that were obscuring the front of the home, installed fresh mulch in all beds, added a row of ornamental grasses along the foundation, and seeded the lawn. Cost: $1,200

Exterior power washing: Brick, concrete, and all exterior hard surfaces. Cost: $350

Kitchen Remodel 

Cabinet painting and new hardware: We stripped and professionally repainted the original oak cabinet boxes in a warm off-white (Benjamin Moore Simply White), replaced all door fronts with Shaker-profile replacements, and installed brushed nickel hardware throughout. The cabinet boxes were solid wood and structurally excellent β€” full replacement would have been financial waste. Cost: $3,800

Quartz countertops: Mid-grade quartz in a light gray with white veining. Installed with an undermount stainless sink and new brushed nickel faucet. Cost: $4,200

Appliances: New mid-grade stainless appliance package β€” 5-burner gas range, over-range microwave/vent hood combo, dishwasher, and a basic refrigerator. Matching stainless finish across all appliances. Cost: $2,900

Backsplash: White subway tile with white grout installed from countertop to upper cabinet bottom. Clean, classic, photographs beautifully. Cost: $850

Kitchen flooring: The original laminate was beyond saving. We installed a luxury vinyl plank (LVP) in a warm oak tone throughout the kitchen and laundry/mud room. Cost: $1,100

Lighting: Under-cabinet LED lighting and a new flush-mount ceiling fixture replacing the original fluorescent box. Cost: $480

Bathroom Updating

Full bathroom renovation: The original 1962 green tile bathroom was completely gutted. New tile throughout β€” floor and tub surround in a classic white subway tile with dark grout, which reads as intentional and contemporary. New vanity with quartz top and undermount sink. New toilet. New tub with integrated surround. New brushed nickel hardware, towel bars, and mirror. New LED light bar above the vanity. Cost: $8,400

Flooring

Hardwood floor refinishing: We pulled carpet from the living room, dining room, and all three bedrooms. Underneath: beautiful original red oak hardwood in excellent condition. Two days of sanding and three coats of polyurethane in a medium warm finish. Cost: $2,100

Bedroom carpeting (one room): One bedroom had a section of damaged subfloor from a long-ago window leak. After subfloor repair, we installed fresh neutral carpet in that room rather than attempting to patch the hardwood. Cost: $780

Mechanical and Systems Replacement Costs

HVAC service and repair: The 2011 HVAC system was functioning but due for service. We had a licensed HVAC technician perform a full service, replace the capacitor (which was showing degradation), clean the coils, and replace the filter. The tech provided a written assessment confirming the system had 3 to 5 years of remaining useful life. We disclosed this honestly in the listing. Cost: $385

Water heater replacement: The 9-year-old unit was still functional but at the age where buyers and inspectors would flag it. We replaced it with a new 40-gallon natural gas unit. Cost: $1,150

Electrical panel repairs: The double-tapped breakers were resolved by a licensed electrician who also added two new dedicated circuits β€” one for the microwave and one for a future kitchen appliance β€” and updated all GFCI protection in the kitchen and bathroom. Cost: $1,100

Plumbing: A licensed plumber replaced the remaining galvanized supply lines in the basement with copper, replaced both shut-off valves under the kitchen sink, and installed a new wax ring on the toilet during bathroom renovation. Cost: $1,600

Interior Paint and Finish Work

Full interior repaint: Every room painted in Benjamin Moore Pale Oak (walls) with Simply White trim throughout. Two coats on all walls, trim painted semi-gloss. Cost: $4,200

Interior doors and hardware: All interior doors were original hollow-core 1960s vintage. We replaced all with six-panel solid-core doors in bright white, installed with matching brushed nickel lever hardware throughout. Cost: $2,800

Lighting β€” whole house: Every ceiling fixture and fan replaced. We installed contemporary flush-mount LED fixtures in the living room, dining room, kitchen, and all three bedrooms. Brushed nickel ceiling fan in the master bedroom. Cost: $1,400

Window treatments: Installed clean white 2-inch faux wood blinds on all windows. Adds a finished look that bare windows do not convey. Cost: $620

Deep professional cleaning: Post-renovation professional cleaning of the entire house, including all new fixtures, flooring, and surfaces. Cost: $480

Miscellaneous and Contingency

Permit fees (St. Louis County): Building permits for structural, electrical, and plumbing work. Cost: $680

Dumpster rentals (2 during rehab): One during cleanout/demolition, one mid-project. Cost: $780

Contingency items (discovered during rehab): A section of the subfloor in the laundry room showed prior water damage not visible during the initial walkthrough. Replacement of the affected subfloor section. Cost: $620


Complete Rehab Cost Summary

CategoryTotal
Foundation/waterproofing and structural$5,000
Roof, exterior, and curb appeal$11,450
Kitchen (cabinets, counters, appliances, backsplash, flooring, lighting)$13,330
Bathroom (full renovation)$8,400
Flooring (hardwood refinish, carpet)$2,880
Mechanical and systems$4,235
Interior paint and finish work$9,020
Permits, dumpsters, contingency$2,080
Net cleanout cost$1,080
Total Rehab Cost$57,475

This came in below our initial estimate of $61,400, primarily because the cabinet painting came in under budget and the HVAC required service rather than replacement. This is how we update houses for maximum appreciation, we don’t want to spend a lot of money on updates that buyers don’t want to pay for.


Holding Costs During the Rehab Period

Every day you own a property that is not generating income costs money. Here is exactly what we paid to hold the Sir Lords Lane property during the rehab period from late October through early February β€” approximately 15 weeks (3.75 months):

Holding Cost ItemTotal
Property taxes (prorated, 3.75 months)$1,260
Homeowners insurance (vacant property policy)$1,400
Utilities (gas, electric, water β€” minimal during rehab)$820
Financing cost (private money at 10% annualized on $79,000 purchase for 3.75 months)$2,469
Total Holding Costs$5,949

Purchase price$79,000
Acquisition closing costs (title, fees)$1,145
Rehab costs$57,475
Holding costs$5,949

This is the number that matters more than any other single figure in a flip. Every decision about listing price, offer acceptance, and concessions needs to be measured against this number.

Hazelwood, MO Cash Home Buyers

Getting the Property Listed β€” Pre-Market Preparation

The rehab was completed on February 6. Before we went live on the MLS, we spent one additional week on listing preparation.

Professional photography: We engaged a professional real estate photographer who shoots exclusively for real estate agents and investors in the St. Louis market. The session included full interior photography using wide-angle lenses and proper lighting, exterior photography timed for the late afternoon golden hour when the brick reads warm and inviting, and a brief video walkthrough for use on social media. The photographer delivered 42 final images within 24 hours. Cost: $350

Professional staging: We brought in a staging consultant for a half-day to advise on furniture placement and add decorative items β€” throw pillows, a mirror above the console table, greenery in the kitchen, towels and accessories in the bathroom. We own a collection of staging furniture and dΓ©cor that we rotate across properties, so no rental fee was required. The consultant’s advisory fee was $275. Cost: $275

The combination of the renovated home, professional photography, and strategic staging created a listing that looked significantly better than anything else in the comparable price range in Hazelwood at the time we listed.

Listing agent commission agreement: We listed the property with a local real estate agent on a 3% total commission structure β€” 1.5% to our listing agent and 1.5% to the buyer’s agent. The standard in St. Louis is closer to 5.5% to 6% total, but because we work with our listing agent on multiple transactions per year, we have negotiated a reduced commission structure. On a $199,900 list price, the total commission exposure was $5,997.

List price: $199,900

This price was set based on the five comparable sales we had identified during acquisition assessment, updated with one additional comp that had closed during our rehab period. The updated comps supported a list price of $199,900 with confidence that we would receive offers at or very near full price.


The Listing Goes Live β€” Showings and Open House

The property went live on the MLS on February 13 β€” a Thursday, which was intentional. Listing on a Thursday gives the property the maximum window of buyer awareness leading into the weekend, when the majority of St. Louis home showings occur. By Friday morning, the listing had been viewed 847 times on Zillow alone.

We scheduled a public open house for that Sunday, February 16, from noon to 3 p.m.

Showings before the open house: We accepted five private showings on Friday and Saturday. Four of the five were buyer-agent-accompanied. One was an investor who left after ten minutes β€” the renovation quality and price were above his threshold. The other four were owner-occupant buyers, all pre-approved for financing.

The open house: Forty-one groups attended the Sunday open house over the three-hour window. We provided a professionally printed property information sheet with all the key renovation details: what was replaced, what was updated, the roof certification, the HVAC service documentation, and the square footage and room-by-room breakdown. Serious buyers appreciate specificity. It signals confidence and reduces the anxiety that drives low offers.

The feedback from the open house was overwhelmingly positive. The most common comments: “The kitchen is beautiful,” “I love that you kept the original hardwood floors,” and “This is turn-key.” That last comment β€” “turn-key” β€” is the exact goal of everything we do in a renovation. A buyer who walks into a home and thinks “I could move in tomorrow” is a buyer who makes strong offers.

Offer deadline: We set an offer deadline of Tuesday, February 18 at 5:00 p.m. β€” 72 hours after the open house. This is a deliberate strategy. Rather than accepting the first offer immediately, setting a deadline allows all interested parties to formulate their best offers simultaneously, creating competition. Competition produces higher prices.


The Offers β€” and the One We Accepted

By the Tuesday deadline, we had received four offers:

Offer 1: $195,500, conventional financing, 20% down, 30-day close, no inspection contingency waiver, $3,000 in seller-paid closing costs requested.

Offer 2: $197,000, FHA financing, 3.5% down, 45-day close, standard inspection contingency, $4,000 in seller-paid closing costs requested.

Offer 3: $202,000, cash, 21-day close, as-is, no concessions requested. (This offer came from another investor who planned to use the property as a rental.)

Offer 4: $199,900 (full list price), FHA financing, 3.5% down, 40-day close, standard FHA inspection contingency, $4,500 in seller-paid closing costs requested.

The decision:

The cash offer of $202,000 was the highest gross price, but we had a conversation with our listing agent about what we actually wanted to accomplish with this property. Cash offers from investors going to rental conversion are clean and fast, but they do not fulfill one of the things that motivates what we do: putting families into owner-occupied homes in neighborhoods that benefit from owner-occupancy.

Offer 4 β€” the first-time homebuyer using an FHA loan at full list price β€” was compelling for several reasons. The buyer, a young woman named Danielle, was a 29-year-old purchasing her first home. She was a nurse at a local hospital. She had been saving for her down payment for three years. She had been pre-approved through a local lender with a 680 credit score and a 3.5% down payment of approximately $6,997. Her offer was at full list price, and her requested seller-paid closing cost assistance of $4,500 was a standard FHA concession that we had anticipated in our cost modeling.

We also evaluated the FHA inspection risk carefully. The property had been fully renovated to a standard that easily satisfied FHA’s Minimum Property Requirements. The roof was certified, the HVAC was serviced and documented, all systems were functional, and there were no deferred maintenance items that would trigger FHA appraisal conditions. We were confident the FHA appraisal would come in at or above the contract price given the strength of our comparable sales.

We accepted Offer 4: $199,900 at full list price, FHA financing, $4,500 in seller-paid closing costs, 40-day close.

We countered Offer 3 (the cash investor) with a backup offer position, which they declined. Offer 1 and Offer 2 were formally declined.


The FHA Appraisal and Inspection Process

FHA Inspection: The buyer’s home inspector visited the property on day 8 of the contract period. The inspection report came back with eight items noted. Seven were minor: a missing outlet cover plate in the laundry room (a $2 fix), a downspout extension recommended on the south corner (a $15 fix), a weather seal gap at the exterior back door (a $20 fix), and several other items of similarly negligible magnitude.

The eighth item was the only one with any real discussion: the HVAC system’s age. The inspector noted the 2011 installation date and suggested the buyer be aware of the system’s age. We had disclosed this proactively in our listing packet. Danielle’s agent came back requesting a $1,500 repair credit in lieu of any HVAC work. After a brief back-and-forth, we agreed to a $750 closing credit as a compromise. This was well within our cost model.

FHA Appraisal: The FHA appraisal was ordered by Danielle’s lender on day 10 and completed on day 19. The appraiser returned a value of $201,000 β€” $1,100 above our contract price. This is exactly the outcome a well-renovated, properly priced property should produce. The appraiser used four of the same five comparable sales we had used, confirming that our pricing analysis had been accurate.

With an appraisal above contract price, there was no renegotiation on value. The transaction moved cleanly toward closing.


The Closing β€” Final Numbers

The property closed on April 2 β€” 45 days after contract execution, five days past the original 40-day target due to a one-week delay in Danielle’s lender underwriting. The delay was standard and did not require any contract extensions.

NET PROFIT$27,000

$27,000 net profit on the Sir Lords Lane property in Hazelwood.

I want to be direct about this number because I believe in transparency. Twenty-seven thousand dollars is not a windfall. It is a solid return on a four-month project that required capital deployment of $143,000, project management of a 14-week rehab, coordination of a listing process, and the risk inherent in any real estate transaction. On an annualized basis, the return on our invested capital was strong. As a single transaction, it represents a meaningful contribution to what we are building at Cash Offer Man β€” and it delivered something that numbers alone do not capture.


What the Deal Meant Beyond the Numbers

On April 2, Danielle walked into a title company and signed what were likely the most consequential documents of her 29-year-old life. She had spent three years saving her down payment while working night shifts at a hospital. She had searched for the right home for six months. She had lost two previous offers to competing buyers in a competitive market.

On Sir Lords Lane, she found a home that was move-in ready β€” genuinely, not cosmetically. A home with a renovated kitchen, a renovated bathroom, refinished original hardwood floors, new mechanical systems, new entry and garage doors, and fresh paint from floor to ceiling. A home that passed the FHA inspection cleanly because it was built right, not just made to look right.

She paid $199,900 using an FHA loan with 3.5% down. Her monthly payment β€” mortgage principal and interest at the prevailing rate, plus property taxes and FHA mortgage insurance β€” came to approximately $1,480 per month. She had been paying $1,200 per month in rent for an apartment that was neither larger nor better maintained than the Sir Lords Lane house she now owns.

For an additional $280 per month, she purchased a home that is building her equity with every payment, that gives her the stability and security of ownership, and that placed her in a neighborhood with genuine long-term upside as Hazelwood’s market continues to firm.

That is the deal we made on Sir Lords Lane. A 71-year-old woman who needed out got a clean, certain, fast exit from a house she could no longer manage. A 29-year-old nurse who had worked hard and saved diligently got a genuinely renovated home she could afford. And Cash Offer Man earned a profit that funds the next deal, and the deal after that.

This is exactly what we do. In Hazelwood. In Mehlville. In Ferguson. In Florissant. In Affton. In every North and South County community where houses exist that need rehabilitation and families exist who need quality homes they can afford.
