any kind of relationship since I was young, particularly mother and daughter, we had our ups and downs. I think with a lot of mothers, daughters, friends. What's it like working together? Does it bring you closer together or does it create more challenges? Tell me a little bit more about your relationship with your mom. I think it was about six to eight weeks before we got a really good new normal down.

So, it was this challenging balance of making sure we were still able to make some progress and meet deadlines, and they were able to get the footage they needed to make the show that we have. A lot of them were already under contract to close, and it's like, "Okay, how can you quarantine in your home if your home's not done?"Īnd construction is considered one of those vital fields, so we could keep going, but the production team couldn't. You can just wait, but we're renovating houses. But they're shows where they're renovating someone's kitchen or maybe your backyard, and you can just not do that. What was the hardest part of anything this last year? For us, we were in a uniquely tricky position, because a lot of other shows just shut down filming, which made sense. That, obviously, I think that's everyone's answer. What has been the hardest part of filming this new season? And we didn't have a buyer, so him and his wife came and walked through at the end, and it was just really cool.

It was a TV that his godfather had won from a sales competition, and they had the original bill of sale from the house and just all this really cool stuff. And his godfather lived in this house, so he pretty much grew up in this house and told us about how he watched the moon landing on the TV in that house. So a gentleman came by the property, because he still goes to church right around the corner and told us all these amazing stories about how he grew up in the house across the street. We didn't have a buyer for this particular house, but the way the neighborhood is, even if you've move out of it, you still have friends that live in it or go to the churches that are in it. But I think probably one of the cooler stories that you'll see. When we have the buyers come in at the end, it's always exciting. Well, I mean, with our show, because we're not renovating for a family that's already living in the home, it's a little bit different. Have there been any specific homes that you've redone that you've seen a dramatic change in that family's life? Whereas if we'd jumped all over the city, it would probably be a more financially fruitful business model, but there's definitely something to be said for we live in the neighborhood, and that's where our heart is with the business. There's a couple of outliers, but 100 houses in that small of an area really makes an impact. We've done over 100 houses now in probably a square mile. And then once we'd done a chunk in that area, and you see like, "Oh, okay, we've done three on two blocks." And you can see the tipping point there, and it just makes such a bigger difference. So we started in Fountain Square simply because it was close to downtown, and it was affordable, and there were dilapidated properties that we had $10,000 to buy. I think it's something that we stumbled into as a business but then saw how much of an effect it could have, and so it became our business model. Why is rehabbing homes in Indianapolis so important to you? Do you feel that your work thus far has made an impact on the community?
