Scott McGillivray heads to the Tampa area to dig into his latest Buyers Bootcamp house-flipping project. This Hurricane Irma-damaged house needs a lot of love if it’s going to sell for a profit – as well as US$85K of Scott’s money for a major renovation.

Flirtatious Fifties
The bright-green kitchen-bar stools and bold, palm-leaf wallpaper give this open-concept living-kitchen area a mid-century modern vibe, which is perfect for a 1950s home like this one.

Spend Money to Make Money
Scott spared no expense in the luxury kitchen, installing stainless-steel appliances, beautiful grey-veined Calacatta Laza quartz countertops, and brushed-nickel hardware for the clean, white cabinets.

Take a Seat
An old sunroom is converted into a bright, modern dining area set up with an angular, glass-topped table and Eames-inspired molded-plastic chairs in black, white and green, reflecting the same colour palette as the adjoining living room.

Dining in Style
Setting the table with funky, black-and-white graphic plate sets creates a young, energetic vibe in this bungalow, which is less than 10 minutes from the vibrant Florida waterfront.

Swamp Swap
Buyers Bootcamp partners Sandy and Same bought this Tampa-area property for US$195K with the hopes of injecting some of their youthful energy into the place – revitalizing the festering backyard pool and disintegrating lanai was part of that master plan.
![Sitting Poolside Buyers Bootcamp swimming pool bungalow updated lanai with blue wall and new screened walls](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/6-buyers-bootcamp-swimming-pool-bungalow-lanai.jpg)
Sitting Poolside
With Scott’s construction expertise and cash injection, they managed to not only breathe new life into the pool but also create a gorgeous poolside seating area in this newly screened and tiled lanai.

Proper Pool Party
A new white wooden fence encircles this beachside property giving the soon-to-be new owners some much-needed privacy around the pool. Scott also laid out a cement patio perfect for an afternoon of grilling at the massive barbecuing station.

Soft Touch
Beautiful, tonal wallpaper behind the bed in the master bedroom creates a peaceful focal point without overwhelming the space, while a black, modern fan adds a touch heft to ground the room’s super-soft colour palette.

Out With the Old
Before Scott got his hands on this poolside bungalow, this is what the outdated master ensuite looked like – turquoise shower tiles, beige linoleum flooring and a brown-speckled resin vanity top.
![Ensuite On Repeat Buyers Bootcamp swimming pool bungalow new master bathroom with twin sinks and a newly tiled shower.](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/10-buyers-bootcamp-swimming-pool-bungalow-bathroom.jpg)
Ensuite On Repeat
Light, bright and completely redone from the floor to the ceiling, now this master ensuite shines with white tile throughout, a classic quartz double vanity top and all new high-end fixtures and fittings.

Long Walks on the Beach
The second bedroom features a textured taupe wallpaper on one wall, while the other three are painted with a trendy blue-green tone, creating a colour palette that’s beachy without being too bright.

Best in Show
After extensive renovations (including a new roof and painting the exterior this striking bright blue), Scott believes this poolside property is now one of the best in neighbourhood and should be listed at US$340K, giving them a potential profit of $80K.
