The Great Detroit Flip Flop Frenzy: How Many Homes Have Keith & Evan Renovated?
Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas, the dynamic duo behind HGTV's hit show "Bargain Block," are on a mission to breathe life back into Detroit's forgotten abodes. But just how many houses have these guys actually tackled? Buckle up, because this renovation ride is about to get a little fuzzy.
The Renovation Rumours: From Humble Beginnings to Reality TV Fame
There's a whisper on the wind (or maybe it's just Shea Hicks-Whitfield, their realtor, spilling the tea) that Keith and Evan started flipping houses in Detroit well before the cameras started rolling. We're talking about transforming neglected neighborhood fixtures into starter home stunners even before "Bargain Block" became a thing.
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
The HGTV Tally: Hold My Paintbrush, It's Renovation Time!
Now, thanks to the magic of reality TV, we have a clearer picture (or at least a more televised picture) of their renovation efforts. In a tell-all interview with Realtor.com, Keith himself spilled the beans, mentioning a whopping 70 houses renovated in Detroit. 70! That's enough shiplap to wallpaper a small country, folks.
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
The Fuzzy Math: Where Do We Go From Here?
But wait, there's more! Some reports suggest the number might be even higher, with estimates reaching into the low 80s. Here's the thing: keeping track of every single fixer-upper these guys have conquered might be a job for a team of HGTV statisticians, not to mention they've upped their renovation game with a crew to help them out.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
The Verdict: Detroit's Renovation Robin Hoods
One thing's for sure: Keith and Evan are out there making a real difference in Detroit, one beautifully rehabbed home at a time. Whether it's 70 or 80, these guys are single-handedly boosting property values and turning frowns upside down (well, maybe not the frowns of termites they encounter along the way).
Tip: Write down what you learned.
