Sierra has documented her real estate stories and tips and tricks for investors.
In a recent video, she focused on one of her more challenging fixer-uppers.
An array of clips shows the interior of an empty older home.
“We bought a house sight unseen. House seems to be in decent condition. Wait for it…” the text read.
The next segment shows the remodeling process.
A team of workers began pulling out appliances and ripping out flooring to gut the entire space.
At one point, two men can be seen tearing a panel off the wall in the kitchen.
That’s when the new homeowner realized she was about to fight a treacherous bug battle.
Beneath the wood, a plethora of squirming cockroaches began running in different directions.
“The entire house was infested,” Sierra explained. “The exterminator said this was one of the worst infestations he has ever seen.”
A man used a vacuum to attempt to suck in all of the bugs.
In the comments section, many people expressed their terror at the termite situation.
“I would simply just burn the house down and collect insurance on it instead…” one person suggested.
“You should demolish the house and do new construction,” another insisted.
“Y’all are brave. I would have been in a hazmat suit,” a third admitted.
One person asked why the owner ever considered investing in a property in such dire condition.
“We ended up flipping the house and are turning it into an investment property. That’s why we thought it was in decent condition to flip and remodel,” the owner explained.
Sierra is yet to confirm that the cockroaches were successfully evicted.
